Keys to Innovation |
| The
Nine-Dimensional Methodology for innovative thinking is a systematic
approach that stimulates innovation by effectively using both sides
of the brain. It is a unified approach that builds on comprehensive
problem solving knowledge from industry, business, marketing, math,
science, engineering, technology, and daily life. The different
dimensions, namely Uniqueness, Dimensionality, Directionality,
Consolidation, Segmentation, Modification, Similarity, Experimentation,
and avoidance, provide leaders, managers, and workers with new insights
and thinking strategies to solve problems they face.
The new methodology:
- Looks at problems systematically
- Enhances creative power and innovative skills of problem solvers
- Helps to generate unique “out-of-the-box” unexpected
and high quality multiple solutions
- Stimulates innovation by generating more and better ideas quickly
- Increases productivity of the idea generation process.
The methodology works extremely well in brainstorming sessions.
It is easy to teach, learn and use.
