Divergence PrinciplesSWAMI

Suppose: Put yourself in imaginary situations which will switchon new ways of thinking , for eg. Suppose you could smash allthe assumptions around this problem

Wander: Wandering through new territory with an open mind,for eg. Wander through hardware or antique stores, newmagazines or conferences, random images or analogies from

nature Associate: Deliberately create new linkages between objects,

ideas, events people or processes and link things together thatnormally are not connected.

Morph : Change various aspects of the situation, make thefamiliar strange and the strange familiar

Inquire: Questions create openings. A great question canunravel a mystery. Practice good questioning skills

Convergence Principles

SOARS Sort: In order to make sense of what is often hundreds of possibilities,

they need to be grouped into meaningful categories related to time,market demand, availability of resources, type of possibility etc.

Order: Possibilities within a viable categories can be ranked against

pre-established criteria to create an order of preference Adapt: Once likely possibilities have been identified they can be

expanded and adapted to create even better ideas

Refine: likely possibilities need to be bullet proofed to find the weakspots and possible failures

Select: Ideas are only ideas until they are implemented and to be

implemented they need to be owned . Getting the right people totake ownership in the idea is a critical piece of the process

The Ground Rules of Brain

Storming

Suspended Judgment Criticism is ruled out. Adverse judgment of ideas must bewith held until later. Do not evaluate

Free - Wheel Free wheeling is welcomed. The wider the idea, thebetter, it is easier to tame down than to think up. Let

mind drift.

Strive for Quantity Quantity is wanted. The greater the number of ideas, themore the likelihood of success. Aim at, say, a hundred

ideas in a period of 15 to 30 minutes

Combine and Improve Combination and improvement are sought in addition tocontributing ideas of their own, participants should

suggest how ideas of others can be turned into better

ideas; or how two or more ideas can be joined into

still another idea. Hitch Hike on other peoples

ideas.

Warm - Up If necessary familiarize the group with

the procedure by a practice exercise.

Problem

general.

Guide Give people two minutes to think aboutit. Encourage everyone to contribute asnote taker lists ideas on white board

or flipchart..

with an image of the topic.

Around the central word, draw 5 to 10 main ideas representing an

associated idea. Then take each of those "child" words and again draw 5

to 10 main ideas that relate to each of those words.

Make the branches closest to the center thicker.Use images, symbols,

codes and dimensions throughout your Mind Map.

Use colors as your own special code to show people, topics or themes.
