The 9 Dot Puzzle
Did you step outside the box? Our eyes typically go straight to the dots and try to
connect them. If we stay within the confines of what we normally do or what we
see on the surface, we are challenged to accomplish the task. It can get frustrating
which may lead to stopping the effort and going on to something easier . Be crea-
tive and step outside of the box. You can see by this puzzle that by stepping outside
the box, you were able to complete the exercise. Share this exercise with your team
at your next meeting and see if it helps the way they generate ideas at your meeting.
