Idea Generation tools to help you improve your creativity
Idea Generation?
At an incremental level concept generation is the life blood of any innovative organisation. Surely it is bread and butter that we use the ideas and creative juices of our friends and colleagues to better our collective position. Yet many organisations do not systematically manage this process. Of much greater concern is the fact that as part of our "educational experience" we are not introduced to ways and techniques by which we can generate ideas. There are simple approaches by which everyone can be encouraged to open their minds, and generate new ideas.
