Full Description
--a revolutionary process for sustainable creativity from two strategic innovation experts from The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). To make sense of the world, we all rely on assumptions, on models--on what Luc de Brabandere and Alan Iny call "boxes." If we are unaware of our boxes, they can blind us to risks and opportunities. This innovative book challenges everything you thought you knew about business creativity by breaking creativity down into five steps: - Doubt everything. Challenge your current perspectives.
- Probe the possible. Explore options around you.
- Diverge. Generate many new and exciting ideas, even if they seem absurd.
- Converge. Evaluate and select the ideas that will drive breakthrough results.
- Reevaluate. Relentlessly. No idea is a good idea forever. And did we mention Reevaluate? Relentlessly. Creativity is paramount if you are to thrive in a time of accelerating change. Replete with practical and potent creativity tools, and featuring fascinating case studies from BIC to Ford to Trader Joe's, Thinking in New Boxes will help you and your company overcome missed opportunities and stay ahead of the curve. This book isn't a simpleminded checklist. This is Thinking in New Boxes. And it will be fun. (We promise.) Praise for Thinking in New Boxes "Excellent . . .
