Thanks for this post. I used to do a version of the Random Element when I was younger. I’d completely forgotten about it, but I remember it really working. In fact I’m using it at the moment. “How is my cat Toby similar to my job?”

Thanks again,
Tim Woods

I’m entirely alien to the principles you have elaborated here. I have learned a lot today reading this article. Thanks for sharing this unique approach in dealing with problems.

HI Dayne, thanks for putting this really CREATIVE list of creative techniques together. You know I totally agree that we need to use our creative minds more to solve problems than we’re accustomed to doing. I loved the “Random Element” and “The Lotus Blossom”. I’m definitely going to try them… I think they really have so much potential, especially the lotus blossom…

Cheers,
Miche

Thanks Dayne,

I need to get my creativity going these days. “What if” questions is something I’m currently using and it works very well for me. It’s like squeezing a lemon all the way.

I really like The Lotus Blossom idea. We use a software development process at work called Agile – it kinda fits in with a lot of what you talk about on here: doing less, KISS, avoid unnecessary work, etc and it also relies heavily on sticky notes. I think The Lotus Blossom could work really well during planning and design stages.

Sorry for the double post, but I do have one suggestion to make. This post might be better titled “5 Powerful Creative Problem-Solving Techniques.”

Dayne – a truly useful post, thank you! So many list posts nowadays are filled with nothing but me-too fluff. It’s such a pleasure to come across a post like this one that actually contains concrete, immediately applicable information.
