Let's Make It Work Rather Than Kill It!

Creativity Challenge 1999 #49

The easiest thing we all can and too often do is "kill" or "wound ideas". Ours and others'.

We need to practice daily boosting, encouraging, improving ideas we would normally resist. This challenge is asking you to take a seemingly dumb to completely stupid idea and improve it for 15 minutes. Each day choose a different idea: imaginary or actually in practice.

Imaginary

  1. instant travel without a vehicle
  2. World Peace

In Practice

  1. pet rock
  2. Post-It* flip-chart size paper

Then think of 6 to 12 ways to make it work, make it more possible, eliminate problems with the idea.

For a greater challenge go beyond a simply list of 6 to 12. Make a chart with five columns.

It is too easy to kill ideas. History is filled with examples of the leading experts or every day people killing ideas through their short-sighted or resistant reactive comments. Most to all inventions and ideas have been criticized yet the originators didn't give up: Henry Ford, Tom Edison, Chester Carlson, Walt Disney, Ted Turner, Charles Goodyear. They found ways to improve their ideas and to get around the objections and negative comments of others.

Don't give up on your ideas!
