Adopt & Value Different Perspectives

It pays to explore issues from a number of different angles. Adopting alternative points-of-view, using different frameworks and metaphors, stimulates valuable insights. This enables participants in the creative process to look at issues through a different lens.

An effective creative person realises that not everyone approaches issues with the same mindset.  They will intentionally adopt different modes of thinking to engage others in the process and maximize their contribution. These modes can be visual and aural, as well as textual or numerical. They employ stories, imagery, music, metaphor and fantasy as appropriate.

They will challenge their own thinking, deliberately adopting different perspectives and modes to break their usual mould.  They extend this to others, encouraging others to challenge them and each others.
