Simple Divergent, Emergent &
Convergent Thinking

!

I came to this presentation
via a circuitous route. So I
am going to take you on a
bit of the same journey.
!

The approach I describe here is a mashup
of concepts from Eric Knight Reframing;
Dave Gray, Sunni Brown and James
Macanufo Gamestorming; Ian Dixon of
Dixon Partners; and Michelle James of The
Center for Creative Emergence.
Reframing

The
Streetlight
Divergent &
Convergent
Thinking

It starts with an old story
about how we can go looking
where we are comfortable,
rather than where answers
can be found.

The Streetlight
An old story with many variants:
1. A man is looking for his keys
under a streetlight
2. A person comes and helps him
3. They cannot find the keys
4. When challenged. the man
admits he dropped his keys
‘over there’
5. He is looking here, because he
can see in the light
The
Streetlight

Reframing
Divergent &
Convergent
Thinking

And an idea
from Eric Knight
that needs to be
shared.

Reframing
Eric Knight 2012 in Reframe writes that
earnest, well-meaning, intelligent people use
a ‘magnifying glass’ to solve problems
Reframing
Eric suggests we start with a camera lens:
– A wider field of view
– Able to focus at different distances,
giving multiple ‘frames of reference’
Reframing

Which leads to
two important
ways of thinking.
