Reframing

The Power of “Reframing:

marketing, management, politics, science, creativity, everyday life

 

As inventor Edwin Land used to say, [creative redesign is] "not so much having a new idea as stopping having an old idea"

E.g., Six monkeys in a cage

E.g., The 9-dot Quiz (and answer)

                                                                                                            l l l

                                                                                                            l l l

                                                                                                            l l l

                                                                                      or as Edward de Bono puts it

                                                                                       and John Seely Brown

 

So stopping having old ideas includes:

       HOW-TO  (techniques and methods for thinking outside of boxes)

WANT-TO  (the appropriate motivation – "intrinsic")

ABLE-TO (the "cultures," organizations, systems we inhabit)
