He begins with a discussion of Eva Niewiadomski, a former employee of Quaker Oats who had a propensity for designing a creative workspace, using fun colors, toys and images so that her workspace became vibrant.
She took this habit and used it create a business called Catalyst Ranch. Most offices are drab, and lack any kind of stimulus to enforce creativity. Something else that can be done to inspire creativity is by moving off-site; getting away from the normal environment. It is interspersed with some color, but I realized it lacks the vibrancy some bright colors would bring. This might explain, some of, her creative nature.
I believe this is something I will work on. Just reading this made me think about how many times I heard similar statements, and how few times I had encountered something different. I could only remember one time in my life and that was in my early twenties, on a construction site, when a supervisor encouraged me to think of different ways to approach a task. I find this an interesting approach to problem solving. Linkner says that by this role-playing we can find a fresh perspective.
Choose the lens you view it through, from the perspective of a musician, architect, or even a villain! I had to think about that one for a minute, but, for me it seems I do research well, so why not apply that to a problem. I may even do that now, because I find myself, seldom, making quick, rash decisions.
The Upside Down concept is all about turning a problem around and solving for something different in order to succeed. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen. Irrational phobias can unfortunately cripple people, preventing them from reaching their potential and truly enjoying life. To unleash your creativity and that of your team, you need to break through the barriers that stall your creative process.
The creative act is nonlinear, and may not be fully realized until a work is near completion. If you are an author working on a new novel, for example, a spark may be simply the name or even the hair color of the protagonist.
When trying to create your creative flame, remember these two points: 1. Start with a number of small sparks, no matter how incomplete, to begin the creative process. Be very careful not to quickly extinguish those sparks. Examples: How could we win an award or the worst customer service? Having the initial thoughts already started on the page allowed him to pick up midstream rather than from a dead stop. From there, explore the ins and outs of the statement and provoke your team into a lively discussion.
Then simply take one part at a time and try swapping out something fresh. Discuss and see what new ideas you can uncover for improvements. In the previous chapter Linkner discusses how to begin to ignite your sparks of creativity. Thou Shall Not Judge. As ideas begin to flow, you must do everything in your power to let them flow. No person should be allowed to offer any judgment on any idea.
The Ignite phase is about generating ideas, not ranking them. Just let the creative sparks burst forth. There will be plenty of time to evaluate them later. Thou Shall Not Comment. Any negative comment or criticism will change the mood in the room, and the group will begin to clam up.
Your commentary will distract the ideation process. Thou Shall Not Edit. The font choice, color palette, and idea name are irrelevant. Editing is a left-brain activity and is a completely separate process than idea generation. Keep it that way. Let the ideas come out, sloppy and uninhibited. Thou Shall Not Execute. The second an idea hits the whiteboard, you can easily become distracted by thinking about execution. Who will run it?
What will it cost? What does the project plan look like? What are the financial implications? Where will the work take place? When will we begin? These are great questions for later, but they will crush creative ideas and should be avoided like the plague at this stage in the process. Thou Shall Not Worry. Release fear in order to unshackle your true creative potential.
If you are leading the group, create an environment where people feel comfortable taking risks and have no fear of embarrassment or negative consequences. The best way to encourage this is to set an example. Thou Shall Not Look Backwards. Although we can learn a lot from the past, it can also handcuff our ability to reinvent the future. Every idea is new at this moment, and you and your team should share every one of them that you believe has merit.
Thou Shall Not Lose Focus. Thou Shall Not Sap Energy. There are two types of people in the world: Zappers and Sappers. When you are with a Zapper, you feel energized. You become engaged, you lean forward, you feel stimulated—the ideal state for creative expression. Then there are the Sappers. These are the folks who drain your energy with negativity and droning commentary that suck the life out of the room and kill creativity.
Manage collective energy the same way you manage time or money. Ban BlackBerry-checking and clockwatching, and keep the energy up with high-fives, cheers, and positive vibes for all. The tasks you perform in this phase put your creative ideas into action, as you select your best ideas, determine key metrics for measuring the success of those ideas, and build an action plan that brings those ideas to life.
Entire books have been devoted to each of these tasks, but here are a few general ideas for tackling them in your creative process. Take a handful of your best ideas and score them using a matrix that compares their effectiveness in addressing the issues that matter most to you and your organization.
Then, add up the total scores so you can compare one idea to another - with multiple factors and on an even playing field. Using the same guidelines and time limits, let each proponent present an opening argument, defense, and closing argument.
Then, let the jury deliberate for a set time before coming to a decision. The Trial by Jury Method can be tremendous fun, but it also provides a structured forum to debate the merits of competing ideas. Role-playing, computer modeling, even Play-Doh can be used to test-drive your ideas before committing major resources to them. Every Creativity Challenge should have key metrics of success that are clearly defined and capable of providing insights you can use to adjust and adapt your idea for maximum results.
If you are working on a marketing campaign, key metrics may include the number of in-bound inquiries, closing sales rates, increases in revenue, and decreases in customer attrition. If your Creativity Challenge is to launch a new online service, your metrics may include the number of new subscribers, average length of stay on your site per visit, and referral rates of members inviting other members to join. Now, you are ready to release your best creative idea into the world.
Whether big or small, every creative idea you generate makes a difference and, in some way, changes the world. I hope you will use learn to use Disciplined Dreaming to move forward with boldness, thoughtfulness, urgency, passion, and a renewed sense of purpose and wonder.
The creative chops you build in the process will help you break down boundaries and open up new frontiers in business, in art, and in everything you do. It takes only one fresh idea, big or small, to make a difference. And that one idea is inside you right now, waiting to come out and come to life.
In fact, one idea is the only thing that ever has. That one idea is inside you right now. You have everything you need to seize it. MYTH 2: People are creative or not depending on their job or role. TRUTH: Developing creativity is the primary role you will play as a leader in the twenty-first- century business world. MYTH 6: My technical skills and experience are enough. TRUTH: Creative problem solving, original thought, and imagination have become the currency for success in the new world of business.
Dispelling the myths and then harnessing creativity may be the critical success factor for you and your company. Which of these myths were you holding on to? How will you change your thinking in order to change your actions?
How will you use your own creativity to make a difference? Take on a small Creativity Challenge that is completely unrelated to your current project, simply to stimulate thinking and get your team in the zone. For example, invent twenty things right now that you could do with a bandana. Or ask how could we persuade young people not to start smoking? Or how could the local flower shop double its sales?
Do something fun and physical to get things started. One person pictures a house in his or her mind. Afterward, they compare their drawings to the original idea. People can switch roles and do the activity again. This is a powerful exercise for creating an abstract vision and asking good questions.
Look at a picture in a magazine, art book, or newspaper and create a story about it. Not only the obvious story, but the backstory. The in-between-the-lines. Go around the room and have each person add another layer of detail. Creating visual art is more about seeing than the fine-motor skills needed to produce what you see. Drawing can be a great way to do something physical to get your creative juices flowing. A fun exercise is to print out a page with thirty circles on it and give each team member two minutes to make things out of the circles clocks, basketballs, faces, and so on.
