In this review of The Creative Thinking Handbook, I explore how structured thinking tools like the Define and Understand Canvas can help teams avoid reactive solutions, question assumptions, and reframe problems in more generative ways. #CreativeThinking #Facilitation #DesignStrategy

The Power of Reverse Thinking: Start with the Opposite
One of the challenges I deliberately set for myself—whether in doodling, music, or creative problem-solving—is to begin with the opposite of my natural instinct.
In this doodle, I started by creating a containing shape around the edge of the paper—completely contrary to my usual approach. Then I asked myself: “What next?”
The answer came from improv’s golden rule: “Yes, and...”
When creating spontaneous, improvisational abstract art (yes, even simple doodles count!), my only job is to accept and build upon whatever “offers” I’ve already made. Each line becomes an invitation for the next.
What fascinates me about starting with the opposite of my usual pattern is how consistently it leads to delightful surprises. The unfamiliar beginning forces new neural pathways and unexpected results.
For doodles, the success metrics are refreshingly simple: Does it delight me? Is it surprising?
But this reverse thinking technique extends far beyond art. In business and innovation, our habitual approaches often blind us to breakthrough possibilities. Starting with the opposite assumption can reveal untapped opportunities and fresh solutions to persistent challenges.
Where in your work could you benefit from flipping your typical starting point? What “opposite approach” might unlock a solution you’ve been missing?

Bit weird but here's a quick summary of my conversation with Llama3.2-vision: "We dug into AirTags and their connection to German culture. Initially, LLM had no idea what to say! But then it managed to stretch it: Apple has a presence in Germany, German companies use AirTags for tracking, and the device reflects German values of orderliness and precision #AirTags #GermanCulture #CreativeThinking"
