Visuals to help flesh out the house and castle metaphors. You just have to ask the right questions: What are we afraid of in the basement? Who is our knight in shining armor?

My new puppy is a creative thinker in her new crate/doghouse... an "in the box" thinker?

Design Thinking, through the acknowledgment of 'the map in not the territory', works to insure that only the most valuable generalizations are made from specific experiences, that only the most valuable differences are made in our representations, and that only the most valuable selections of the world are included.

Design Thinking transcends the language of cross-cultural visual communication.

Playfulness is essential to creativity and creative thinking. Great ideas rarely come to those who scowl!

Design Thinking is expressed in design operations which through reflection become design thinking.

Design Thinking has its essence in many disciplines and offers a universal bond between them.

Design Thinking revolves around the key concept of Unity in Diversity.

Design Thinking works to reduce the forces of disintegration & increase the forces of integration.

From ideation to evaluation to solution. When the thinking and decision process is made visual, even those not present for the discussion understand how decisions were made.

Design Thinking progresses through the use of feedback loops.

Design Thinking is best expressed through the power of storytelling.

We made a trip to Barnes and Noble... my favorite bookstore.. Hope it survives a bit longer (as Borders we found out is closing....)......

This was a super-cool book I found to help one with improving creative thinking and being innovative. I am still looking through it. It's jam packed full of interesting ideas. I picked this up in hopes I will use some of these tips/strategies/exercises with students in India when I do some college interaction sessions.

The book is for sale by clicking here - astore.amazon.com/authenticjourneys-20/detail/1580087736

I have already done some sessions on motivation and goal setting - see a video of my experience at Jai Bharath College. In the video, I talk about the session I did and some cross-cultural observations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWumLxnhDlk

Design Thinking is the unity in the diversity of cross-cultural visual communication.

Always a muse, never just a dog.

Design Thinking is built upon mature 'perception management'.

Design Thinking is a framework within which various techniques are uses including the essential skill of Edward de Bono's lateral thinking techniques.

Design Thinking understands the power of 'the space between things'.

Two examples of posters I used in the classroom.

This is a synthesis image of some feedback I was given on my visual thinking work a while ago. The same format can be used for any number of topics or situations.

Colorful imagery comes from and leads to creative thinking. Believe it or not, even black and white images can be "colorful" if they are the other things on the list.

This image shows the process from ideation, to evaluation, and finally to the decision. Visual documentation of the thinking and decision process allows everyone to understand how decisions were made, even if they were not present for the discussion.

"I just know it won't work."

~ Everyone, at least once

Ideas can be pretty sneaky at times, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. But even sneakier are the things we think and say that prevent us from creating.

"I know they'll think it's a crazy idea."

~ Everyone, at least once

A lot of times, creativity squelchers surface when when we jump to conclusions instead of taking the time to look at the whole picture. Other times, the need to conform to strict guidelines and rules (such as at work) prevents us from creating. Fear of being different or taking risks squelches creativity, too.

"I'm just not creative enough for that."

~ Everyone, at least once

Although creativity squelchers are not things we want around, knowing they lurk in the shadows unarms them a bit. After all, you can't sneak up on someone who knows you're there.

Design Thinking is an engine to everyday progress.

Visual thinking makes thoughts visible to you and others so you can both see them more clearly, understand them, and make the best decisions about them.

Three of six posters created for a workshop at MindCamp, Canada's Creativity Conference. All six posters were also combined to create an accompanying visual handout.

Design Thinking is a road that has many 'up-ramps' which form bridges across our everyday limitations.

Design Thinking works best when one has a 'prepared mind'.

Design Thinking results in 'valuable' outcomes.

Design Thinking has a process that is visualized in many individual ways.

Design Thinking moves as swiftly & smoothly as a metaphorical spider on a concept net.

Words and images are most powerful when used together. This image compares and contrasts the characteristics of both.

Design Thinking influences extends beyond our current areas of learning.

Design Thinking is most mature when it works to fight the 'self-persisting I, me & my'.

Professional Development workshops

Design Thinking moves us from where we are to where we want to be.
