The document contains advice from Jann Sabin on developing and discovering creative ideas. Some of the key points discussed include: having a map or plan but being open to detours and unexpected discoveries; getting started on an idea immediately rather than procrastinating; considering other perspectives even if they contradict your own; keeping creative teams small to allow for innovative solutions without dilution; and using unconventional or unexpected words to describe an idea in a way that can't be misunderstood. The document encourages active listening, front-loading your mind with information, trusting your instincts, and reframing problems in imaginative ways.

Wie wird sich der Arbeitsmarkt in der Zukunft verändern? Warum funktionieren klassische Bewerbungsstrategien immer weniger? Was suchen Personalentscheider wirklich? Nach welchen Kriterien werden Stellen besetzt? Wie positioniere ich mich als Quer-, Wieder- oder Berufseinsteiger?
Petra Barschs neues Buch gibt Antworten auf diese Fragen. Es zeigt, wie sich die Anforderungen und Bedingungen im Arbeitsmarkt verändern und wie Stellensuchende und veränderungswillige Bewerber darauf reagieren sollten. Es lotet die Abgründe des klassischen Bewerbungstheaters aus und liefert Lösungsansätze, wie Sie mit heute üblichen Mosaik-Karrieren und Brüchen im Lebenslauf ein attraktiver Kandidat bleiben.
Dieses Buch liefert einen Blick hinter die Kulissen und zeigt, wie Einstellungsentscheidungen zustande kommen und nach welchen unausgesprochenen Kriterien Personalverantwortliche entscheiden. Denn nur wer diese Insider-Kriterien kennt, kann sich mit einer flexiblen Strategie beruflich positionieren und sich im Bewusstsein seiner eigenen Stärken und Fähigkeiten von der Masse der Bewerber abheben – denn die meisten Bewerbungen scheitern nicht an den Formalitäten.
Most of the skills you need in the "adult" world aren't taught to you at school unless you took some extra-curricular activities during your leisure or after school days. But no one tells you that. Well, I am not too sure if this decade has implemented these, but when I was in school my main focus was on the subject areas I was pursuing studies for, specifically those I was told would lead me to my "dream job".
But that dream job "idea" changed as the years went by and I found myself reteaching myself over and over in different areas. which by the way was an amazing thing. So I wanna share with you some skills you should try to grasp in your teens, 20's or now if you haven't started on those

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

As a business owner, I understand the importance of having a strong online presence and leveraging various digital platforms to reach and engage with your target audience. One often overlooked yet highly valuable asset in this regard is the humble Yahoo account. While many may perceive Yahoo as a relic of the past, the truth is that these accounts still hold immense potential for businesses of all sizes.

have a map, but not a guide.
Think about the difference between a trip taken with a tour guide and one where
you head out in your car, map in hand. On a guided tour, you end up where you’re
supposed to, a designated place. With a map, there’s the possibility of an interesting
side road where you say, “let’s look there” and discover something terrific.
,
Why even have a map, you might be thinking. Because to get started, you have to
be headed somewhere, but that doesn’t have to be where you end up. Be willing
to arrive at a place you weren’t headed for. See where things lead.
Welcome detours. Often that’s where the good stuff is.

the problem with tomorrow.
Tomorrow has a way of expanding to never. I admit that I’m frequently
too fast in doing things, but I’d opt for this “get the ball rolling” approach over
the prolonged procrastination that kills many creative ideas. There’s a lot to be
said for momentum and initial enthusiasm, and when harnessed, it can lead
to surprising things. I’m not suggesting that you act so hastily that you haven’t
thought things through, just that you don’t wait for “perfect” because that’s
,
a moving target you’ll never hit.
Get going.

the benefits of considering, maybe they’re right.
Naturally we all look at things from our particular point of view. Unfortunately, that
generally means that most people don’t give adequate consideration to things that
contradict their thinking. This is particularly acute, and potentially deadly, when it
comes to government. But it’s not a productive attitude in business or life either. I think
truly smart people, and definitely creative people, are open to changing their mind.
A good question to ask yourself when someone is telling you something you
don’t agree with is, “What if that’s right?” Just consider the possibilities of where
.
accepting that thinking might lead. Or even just a piece off it. If you’re not willing
to change your mind and/or update your thinking, you probably won’t end up
with many innovative solutions.
5. Jann Sabin
jann@brandbooster.com
listen actively.
Hearing between the lines is a valuable skill. There is generally much more
to what people are telling you than what they might be saying. I try to be an
active listener, which strangely enough, often involves interrupting. I try not
to interrupt too much, but if I stop the conversation right where it is and either
probe further, we could get someplace we might not have been. Ending up
with an unexpected solution can start with how you listen.
6. Jann Sabin
jann@brandbooster.com
front load your mind.
Learn everything about your challenge. Then forget it. The mind is a mysterious
thing and creativity is even harder to understand. But information left to brew
and connect in unique ways seems to feed creativity.
I’ve found time and again that when I can’t get a really imaginative solution to a
problem I’ve been hired to solve, it’s almost always because I don’t have enough
information. Ask questions. Do some surfing. Read whatever you can find. The
data will then at least be in your mental computer.
The “forget part” is important because this is when your mind is subconsciously
working: making connections, coming up with unique solutions. But it can’t do its
full work if the information isn’t stored in the databank.
7. Jann Sabin

start somewhere, anywhere.
If your task involves writing, the way to get going is to get going. Don’t wait until
you have your thoughts organized or have arrived at the perfect way to express
them. Start to write down ideas, half thoughts, sentences without worrying about
how they’re written. The next day, organize what you have. Then delete a few things
and expand on a few more. Look at it a few days later and some edits will become
apparent. Before you know it, you’ll have a good first draft. It’s almost as if your
document wrote itself.
Just start.
8. Jann Sabin

the smaller the group, the bigger the idea.
One thing I’ve consistently noticed is that outcomes hardly ever get better with big
teams. As a matter of fact, I’d say the more people in the room, the worse the final
product or idea. This is especially true when trying to come up with innovative solutions.
The reason for this I think is that it usually goes like this: someone has an idea, maybe
someone else makes it better, but after that it starts to get diluted and worried to
mediocrity. Someone “has a concern” so the thought is kicked back a little, and it goes
down from there.
If you’re in charge of organizing a project that requires groundbreaking thinking and
innovation, keep it small. I work with many small (maybe 1 or 2 people) teams where
the final solution gets better and better at each intersection. Those groups aren’t easy
to assemble, but that’s the goal.

the creative value of a good nap.
I’m sure I’m not the only person who comes up with a good deal of their ideas in the
shower, driving, or better yet…napping. I’d say that less than 15% of the solutions I get
paid to deliver arrive while I’m at my desk. And even fewer surface when I’m in a meeting.
It’s when we’re not actively thinking about something that the creative part of our brain
goes to work. If I’m frustrated about not being able to come up with, say a marketing
concept, I take a nap. Sure it’s not guaranteed that I’ll wake up with a great idea, but I
might. I write things down in the middle of the night that make no sense in the morning.
But once I do decode the scribble, I’m often excited to see a unique solution to a problem
that had me stumped. Most of the thoughts here began as little scribbles on notecards
made mid-nap.
The person who said “let me sleep on it” was on to something.

sometimes the wrong word is better.
Often the right word can throw people off. For example, I discuss branding, a
frequently misunderstood word. So now, instead of talking about branding, I talk
about something that can’t be misunderstood. I’ll refer to the opportunity to create a
unique experience that would engage customers and increase sales. This is branding,
but it’s more easily understood. And It won’t be taken for a discussion about a logo.
When making radio commercials or movies, the sound people will use a different
sound that sounds more like the real thing than the real sound. I’m just making this
part up, but maybe crunched paper sounds more like breaking glass than glass itself.
So be creative when you’re presently a solution and put yourself in the listener’s seat.
Use words that can’t be misunderstood, even if they’re not the right word.
The result will be right, and that’s what matters.
11. Jann Sabin

from “why,” to “what if” to “wow.”
Imaginatively defining the problem is the crucial first step of arriving at an effective
solution. For example, if my boss tasks my team with finding the answer to 2+2, we
can easily come up with 4. But what if the real question is how much is 3+5? It’s all
different then.
The first thing it always helps to wonder is, why? Is the supposed problem really
that problem? What if is isn’t that, but it’s this? Wow, that could be it. Make sure
you’re working on the right problem if you really want to arrive at a good solution.
Creativity isn’t just in solving things, but in determining what needs to be solved.
12. Jann Sabin
jann@brandbooster.com
find a way to say “yes.”
When you have an idea, don’t ask your friends, gurus, etc. for too much input.
It’s so easy for people to think of 5 reasons why your idea won’t work, but it takes
vision and creativity to find ways that it will. When I’m working on concepts for
major public companies with teams of lawyers, that’s the part where I hold my
breath. The really good ones think of ways to be able to support innovative
concepts. But it’s much easier, and definitely safer on their end, to tell you why
you can’t say certain things.
When I present work to clients, I always tremendously value their first instinct.
If they say, “Wow, I love it.” then think about it a bit and get to, “But, I’m not sure we
,
should say/do this…” they’ve gone from audience to client. I tell them that the only
,
time they can really have a “first impression” like their market, is the very first minute
,
they look at the idea. After that, they become worried business people
Trust your instincts. They’re as good, probably better, than anything.

now more than ever.
Nothing calls for creative thinking more than daunting seemingly insoluble
problems like the ones we as a country have now. Unfortunately fear can have a
stifling effect on untested ideas. When the old ideas haven’t worked, we need new
ideas…we all agree there I’d assume. But the first rule of truly creative thinking is
having the room to fail, something world leaders and businesses don’t have right
now. On the upside, I’d assume that when circumstances are dire, people might
be more wiling to try something truly new, not just old stuff tweaked to look new.
