When I was getting my Masters Degree from Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, under the tutelage of Gwen Morgan, she shared this list of questions to ask when stuck solving a problem. The list was created by Michael LeBoeuf in Imagineering (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1980) and I first presented it in the ExchangeEveryDay on May 2, 2011...
- What can be added?
- What if this were exaggerated?
- What else can this be used for?
- What is being wasted that can be put to use?
- What else is like this?
- What else can be adapted?
- Is there something I can duplicate?
- How can this be done better and more cheaply?
- How can this be made more appealing?
- What can be substituted?
- What should be subtracted?
- Can it be done faster?
- What ideas can be combined?
- How can this be condensed?
- How else can this be arranged?
- What is the opposite of this?
- What if nothing is done?

The book has been stimulating creativity in millions of readers, translated into eleven languages, and used in seminars around the world. This is the 25th anniversary edition of the creativity classic by Dr. Roger von Oech.

These are excellent questions that we should all remember. As a point of clarification it is Lesley University, formerly Lesley College that is in Cambridge MA.
