Freedom of thought to explore, to embrace uncertainty, to take risks – to reframe questions or problems

-
Be reflective: waste time
Having time to meander, reflect and be inspired is really useful in generating new ideas
-
Embrace the fortune of making discoveries by accident: get muddled
Sometimes there is no logical route; confusion can bring forth new thinking, big leaps in thinking and tangential journeys that often produce great ends
-
Play games, serious games
Have fun, be light of heart, allow yourself to truly imagine otherness (let others ‘play’, too)
-
Challenge consensus
Be flexible and resilient enough to respond to change and to make change
-
Look for ways to increase your ideas
Work out what works and what doesn’t and why. Look for ways to scale up, to increase opportunities for positive activity and feedback
-
Work backwards: move forwards
Try to apply different thinking styles through a design activity.

Feel good
