Competency #2: Kaleidoscopic Thinking

Edison’s mind worked like a kaleidoscope.  He consistently visualized problems from multiple angles, allowing him to solve problems that befuddled others.

Edison used whole brain thinking techniques well before cognitive psychology or neuroscience existed. His approach to Kaleidoscopic Thinking will help you increase your own fluid intelligence, allowing you to move forward even when dealing with incomplete data, or ambiguous instructions.

We can help you use Competency #2 to build innovation teams that cut through long-standing challenges, develop breakthrough options, and see new patterns. Competency #2 transforms the way you generate new ideas by:

	Maintaining a notebook of insights, creating uncensored flows of high-level thinking more frequently, and in more contexts.
	Going beyond “brainstorming” to analogical thinking, fantastical thinking, and visual metaphors, driving whole-brain approaches to problem solving.
	Seeing patterns that link unrelated subjects, creating deeper, more powerful insights.
	Mapping ideas visually, facilitating communication across organizational boundaries and skill levels.
	Building comfort with contrarian thinking, allowing you to develop breakthrough practices with a new lens.
