Discuss where the good idea comes from. How to generate more good ideas?
Good ideas build on existing knowledge and ideas. The more we innovate and create, the more we draw on established knowledge to innovate further, enabling us to come up with increasingly advanced ideas. These previous ideas provide platforms of knowledge on which to build. Platforms can be physical, such as a computer or conceptual as the ideas and knowledge that allow us to create (Whitworth, 2023). Collaboration with others in the form of group sessions brainstorming, and discussing projects is a very good way to stimulate thinking. Different views from various angles can give rise to new methods of solving problems.
To generate more good ideas, we can immerse ourselves in relevant information, challenge assumptions and remain curious. Next, shift perspectives by exploring random words and drawing analogies from diverse sectors. Then, brainstorm freely, collaborating with others and organizing thoughts visually. Take breaks to let your subconscious process ideas, engaging in activities that stimulate creativity. Finally, refine the chosen idea based on feedback, ensuring alignment with the original challenge, and present it confidently, believing in its potential impact (Sehgal, 2022).
