All of us want to do well. But if we do not do good, too, then doing well will never be enough.
-Anna Quindlen, American Journalist
When you are stuck in solving a problem, here are some questions, suggested by Michael LeBoeuf in Imagineering (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1980) that you might ask your team to spark ideas...

  • 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?
