23. Activities to Foster Innovation
The Crucible of Experience:
“A great deal of research has been conducted on the benefits of stepping away
from a problem in order to look at it from a fresh perspective. One of the
interesting aspects of insightful thinking is that people who have experienced
sudden breakthroughs all report feeling “stuck” just prior to their “aha!”
moment. They bump up against some cognitive barrier that prevents them from
making the new connections needed to solve the problem. But once they step
away—relax and temporarily think about something else—bam! The answer
strikes from out of nowhere.” Rebecca Costa
Brain Fitness: Employ brain exercises to generate agile thinking and
insight; incorporate optimal sleep patterns & relaxation techniques
Brain Exercise: Brush teeth with non-dominant hand, read journals
from other fields of learning
Increased Collaborative Environments: Small teams with diverse
perspectives; use the best collaborative tools available for solutions
Parallel Incrementalism: Parallel performance of more than one
operation at a time
Exercise: Fitness for the body and the mind
Foster Insight to Resolve Complex Problems
