ChatGPT is my sounding board for idea exploration:
Start with a concept and see where it leads.
Find: Identify conceptual seeds for cultivation and pursuit through diligent research and investigation. *** THIS IS AN AREA WHERE I NEED HELP (i.e. Input from outside) ***
The following are areas that I have been pursuing using ChatGPT:
Mine: Employ tools such as ChatGPT to accumulate pertinent information and present potential solutions.
Refine: Systematically prioritize and assess proposed solutions based on predefined criteria.
The following are areas where I do not excel, and definitely need help:
Produce: Execute chosen solutions with precision and efficiency.
Distribute: Strategically promote and commercialize the implemented solutions.
A concept I learned at IBM: from forbes.com/sites/traversmark/
"Blue-sky thinking," inspired by the idea of looking up at the vast open sky, symbolizing limitless possibilities, encourages individuals to think creatively and without constraints.
Blue-skying involves exploring ideas and solutions uninhibited by existing rules or conventions, no matter how impractical or far-fetched they might initially seem. The beauty of this modality of ideating is that it helps you destroy the proverbial box of normative problem-solving in order to think outside of it.
Here’s what blue-sky thinking prompts can look like:
Here are three ways to spark your creativity
As a former IBM'er,
I appreciate the THINK slogan first used by Thomas J. Watson
December 1911:
At an uninspiring sales meeting, Watson interrupted, saying "The trouble with every one of us is that we don't think enough. We don't get paid for working with our feet — we get paid for working with our heads". Watson then wrote THINK on the easel.
Asked later what he meant by the slogan, Watson replied,
"By THINK I mean take everything into consideration. I refuse to make the sign more specific. If a man just sees THINK, he'll find out what I mean. We're not interested in a logic course."
