Only with Ambiguity, will Brainstorming thrive. But for that, you need Creative thinking. Now that comes from Destruction of assumptions, and by embracing Empathy.
But don’t forget to serve Food! It’s what keeps the brain going.
Some say creativity comes from Gamification. Some say by making it Hilarious. But I say focus on making Ideation Joyful; by being Kind to silly ones, by accepting new Learning, and by being Mindful.
Also, don’t forget to be Non-judgemental!
The doors of Opportunity will creak when you make the simplest of Prototype for your idea. It will lead to more informed Questions. However, beware! As that could lead to more Randomness!
Embrace it.
Find a way to Sketch out your vision but leave space for creative Tension. Don’t hesitate to take a U-turn to all the way to start…..because Voila! Your Wildest idea could be that X-factor!
Finally, don’t forget about You! That’s who you Zoom into and find inspiration from! That’s who is the problem solver, the creative weirdo, the not-giving-up optimist.
And this, folks, right here, is the A to Z of Creativity!
