Thinking
Based on talk
given by :
Giovanni Corazza

3. Have you ever
been in this
situation?

4. Give me a creative idea
…..
Something Different !
?
YOU
BOSS :

5. Seems quite an
easy task
but is actually
Very Difficult !
Solution?

7. WHY
Think
OUT of the
BOX

8. Safe and familiar with the surroundings,
agreeable with others.
WHILE
INSIDE
THE
BOX

9. Thinking,
Outside the BOX
We are vulnerable,
risking the reputation
we worked so hard for
a lifetime.

10. IS going out of the BOX
OR
Luxury ?
Necessity ?

11. We all are nodes in the same network ,
possessing the same information.
Then what is it that makes us
DIFFERENT ?

12. Our dignity depends on what we generate out of
this shared common information.
Thus going out of the box becomes a NECESSITY

19. We need to Resist
the Temptation to
immediately go
back, away from the
UNFAMILIAR

22. Find a MATCH between the NEW ideas
and the INITIAL DRIVE or FOCUS

23. Or we could help with someone else’s
problem with these NEW IDEAS.

24. WHEN
Is it a good
Idea to
challenge
Everything
Around you?

25. An environment
that punishes
mistakes,
would tempt us
to remain
IN our OWN
boxes.

26. An environment that allows
the existence of DIVERGENT
thoughts,
Would encourage…
