![]() ![]() Struggling with your theme (innovation) for 20 years. Happy that I found you through my friend Adam Curry. You are a great speaker and create one of the best podcasts. I enjoy this so keep it going (but don distract from your key message with an apology). Such as how innovation can leverage the entire world marketplace or that there are others who might not be as advanced in innovation as many in the US.

In several of your latest podcasts you are apologetic for being from the US.

Box Thinkīox Think is the process of combining BOTH outside the box and inside the box thinking. Inside the box thinking is restricting the resources but not the ways to utilize them.Ĭonstraint-based innovation is hugely powerful in limiting resources and can empower a team to create something novel. Inside the box thinking is also to constrain the atmosphere, but not the team. Inside the box thinking is to constrain the problem but not the potential ways of solving it. Most people tend to think that good ideas only come from out of the box thinking, which is not true. The box can contain inside constraints that you can change. It defines where you are operating here and now. The box can be an organization, government, or even a team. The idea behind it is understanding your constraints and utilizing those constraints to innovate beyond the box. It is more generally described as constraint-based innovation. ‘Inside the box thinking' means to innovate within the constraints defined by the box. Set aside time to practice all of these thinking processes, and you will be able to successfully “think outside the box.” Inside The Box Thinking We need to distance ourselves from our ideas and look at other views as well. We all love our ideas, as they are our “babies.” In some cases, we need to take a step back and take our emotions out of it. Shared thinking can be hard but is necessary to accelerate your ability to “think outside the box.” Next, you need to rely on shared thinking. You need to take all the risk constraints out of the scenario, whether it is financial, technology-based, etc. When challenged to do “out of the box thinking,”, you need to utilize risk-oriented thinking. The term was attached to a concept known as the nine-dot problem. It originally came from some management consulting firms that were trying to solve problems in new ways. The term “out of the box thinking” is a metaphor that means to think from a new perspective. People often overlook what I call inside the box thinking and try to stay away from it. As we discussed in past shows, out of the box thinking is what most people use when they think of creative thinking. Box Think is doing both inside the box thinking and out of the box thinking.
