Keys to creativity are learning ways to identify and balance expanding and contracting thinking (done separately), and knowing when to practice them.
Solutions are more readily invited and developed when challenges and problems are restated as open-ended questions with multiple possibilities. Such questions generate lots of rich information, while closed -ended questions tend to elicit confirmation or denial. Statement tend to generate limited or no response at all.
As Osborn learned in his early work on brainstorming, the instantaneous judgement in response to an idea shuts down idea eneration. There is an appropriate and necessary time to apply judgement when converging.
When generating information and ideas, language
matters. "yes, and" allows continuation and expansion,
which is necessary in certain stages of CPS. The use
of the word "but" - preceded by "yes" or "no" - closes
down conversation, negating everthing that has come
before it.

Creativity & Innovation

There are few things more annoying and frustrating in work than dealing with a piece of complex machinery or a cumbersome process which will not do what you need done. From complexity comes stress, anxiety and frustration - even rage - followed by apathy and exit. But you don't have to be a victim anymore. Not with de Bono Thinking Systems' Simplicity.
