Creative Questions
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?
