How to get OUT of the BOX

Ted Talk by: Giovanni E. Corazza

Sometimes we are given easy tasks that seems to us difficult as we are asked to think INNOVATIVE so we get FRUSTRATED.

So we need to PRACTISE

HOW to go out of the BOX

WHERE to go

HOW to come back

WHY

We feel safe inside the box.

We all are nodes in a network thus possess same information so there is nothing different.

So WHY we have to go out of the box…

Because going out of the box is not LUXURY but it is the NECESSITY.

WHICH

Brain is a complex mechanism.

Initial Condition Indirect Genetic heritage Experience Learning from others

Boundary Direct Condition Experience Environment Our success and failures

This BOX is a boundary within our mind…

What we know and what we have not yet thought about.

HOW

Do we need an apple to fall on us…

Convergent info. Our own ideas. The things we alreadyknow.

Divergent info.To cross borders within our mind and to think different.

ADD LITTLE

Move from Convergent info to Divergent info.

WHERE

Where to go once out of the box?

There is no perfect direction which brings feeling to immediately go back.

Value “LONG” thinking....

Some thoughts that take us far way… Think of alternatives not single answer.

WHAT

What is the value of new idea?

We kill our own ideas thinking that we are not entitled to be the inventor.

Notice the DIFFERENCE in your idea.

WHEN

When should we think out of the box?

Allow divergent info to come out.

Allow environment to become prone to new ideas...

A quick jump out of the Box is more insightful than a lifetime of standard thinking.
