out of the box thinking by abhigyan singh

TO HOW OUTSIDE THINK BOX THE?

^YEP, THAT’S DELIBERATE

BASED ON A TEDx TALK BY GIOVANNI CORAZZA

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED DOING A SIMPLE TASK

WHICH WAS NOT SIMPLE FOR YOU?

HOW DID YOU FEEL?

FRUSTRATED?

THAT’S HOW MOST OF US FEEL.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

WHY DO WE NEED TO INNOVATE?

WE ALL HAVE COMMOM INFORMATION, CONVERGENT IDEAS.

NEED TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX FOR DIGNITY, AS INTELLIGENT HUMANS.

Which boundary do we need to

cross?

Boundary between what we know and what we have not thought about.

Here, it’s scary.

It’s safe this side.

It’s comfortable.

HOW DO YOU THINK CREATIVE?

FIRST THINK ABOUT…

• DOMINANT IDEAS AND OBSERVATIONS.

• REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS.

THEN THINK ABOUT..

• SOMETHING WRONG, IRRATIONAL AND ABSURD.

• USE A LITTLE BIT OF DIVERGENT THINKING TO CROSS THE BORDER.

Where do you head?

• ANY PLACE YOU WANT, JUST RESIST TEMPTATION TO THINK NORMAL.

• LOSE YOUR SENSES. ENJOY THE PROCESS.

THINKING IS A LONG PROCESS

THINKING TAKES YOU FAR….

“WE DON’T JUDGE A SONG BY ONE NOTE, BUT BY THE ENTIRE ENSEMBLE. IT’S THE SAME WITH IDEAS.”

ASSOCIATE AND

COMBINE TWO IDEAS

BE FLUENT WHILE THINKING

SO….IS THERE A RIGHT

IDEA?

PLEASE DON’T THINK..

“I’M NO INVENTOR!”

“SOMEBODY MUST HAVE DONE IT BEFORE”

REMEMBER: SERENDIPITY

HOW TO THINK

CREATIVELY?

ALLOW DIVERGENT THINKING

ALLOW RELEVANT INFORMATION TO FLOW.

USE METAPHORS.

MATCH DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES.

LIST ORTHODOX IDEAS…..

AND MODIFY THEM!

“A QUICK JUMP OUT OF THE BOX IS MORE INSIGHTFUL

THAN A LIFETIME OF REGULAR THINKING.”

REMEMBER!
