Tactics to remove hindrances to problem solving and broaden creative thinking
- Perceptual blocks can hinder clear perception of problem spaces. Adams defines six types of blocks:
- – Narrow Stereotyping Defaulting to expectations can lead to stereotyping and labeling.
- – Ineffective Scoping Too broad or narrow a scale may cause ideas to be ruled out early, or misplace the focus.
- – Limiting Frame Problem-solvers prototype concepts by leveraging features they deem essential, then exclude the components identified as essential.
- – Singular Viewing Problem-solvers frequently struggle to see tasks from various viewpoints. Role-play relevant activities as various stakeholders.
- – Minimal Recalling of Content Determine this block by recording a task relying on memory alone and assess what is missed.
- – Poorly Engaging Senses Consider generating a range of concepts, each leveraging a different sense.
