This survey asks respondents to choose the best idea from options presented, explain why, identify potential problems with each idea, highlight positives, and provide an overall rating out of 5 for the ideas collectively.
The key points will be:
鏝Empathy in business and how to measure it?
鏝Design thinking tools
鏝How to handle uncertainty as the project evolves?
鏝Design thinking in IT how does it work?
鏝Tips and tricks on design thinking methodology.
This document outlines 16 process tools for effective meeting facilitation:
1. Use a participative approach to set goals and ensure all voices are heard.
2. Uncover potential issues and conflicts with yes or no questions.
3. Accumulate potential ideas from the group, remembering that no ideas are bad at this stage.
4. Ensure all sides get a fair hearing to reduce tension in conflicts.
The 6 Thinking Hats technique developed by Edward De Bono separates critical thinking into 6 colored "hats" representing different perspectives or modes of thinking. The main idea is for a group to consider a problem or topic while only "wearing" one hat's perspective at a time. The hats are White (facts), Red (emotions), Black (caution), Yellow (optimism), Green (creativity), and Blue (process). Various hat sequences can be used - for example, Yellow then Black to evaluate an idea by considering positives then negatives. The document provides examples of hat activities and thinking sequences to structure discussions and problem solving.
The document discusses different types and approaches to thinking, including adversarial thinking, parallel thinking, separating ego from performance, considering alternatives and options, and using different "thinking hats" to generate a full spectrum of ideas. It emphasizes generating more thinking and options, being sensitive to emotions, and considering both benefits and criticisms rather than just one perspective.
1. The document discusses various types of thinking including critical thinking, creative thinking, linear thinking, and random thinking.
2. It contrasts critical thinking and creative thinking, noting that critical thinking involves analysis and judgment while creative thinking is expansive, non-judgmental, and focuses on developing unique ideas.
3. The document presents models for thinking including the kayak with two paddles representing critical and creative thinking, and the six thinking hats method which categorizes different types of thinking into white, red, black, yellow, green, and blue hats.
1. The concept triangle is a lateral thinking technique that involves generating ideas, identifying the underlying concept, and using that concept to develop new ideas to solve a problem.
2. Random inputs like random words can help escape mainstream thinking. Provocations deliberately leave the mainstream by techniques like negation, reversal, exaggeration, distortion, and wishful thinking.
3. Movement techniques extract principles from provocations, focus on differences from the status quo, imagine moment-to-moment implementations, find positive aspects, or consider special circumstances.
The document describes Edward De Bono's parallel thinking method known as the "Six Hats" technique for structured thinking and problem solving. The method involves thinking from six perspectives represented by colored hats: white for objective facts; red for emotions; black for caution; yellow for optimism; green for new ideas; and blue for organization. Each hat provides a different viewpoint and prevents premature judgment. The document outlines the objectives and benefits of using the Six Hats method, which includes focused thinking, time savings, removing ego from decisions, and considering challenges from multiple angles.
The document provides tools and strategies for effectively managing conflict in the workplace. It discusses personal prevention strategies like adopting the least resource-intensive approach and being flexible in one's thinking. It recommends focusing on end results rather than positions when dealing with conflicts. When giving feedback, the document suggests combining strengths and considering alternative perspectives. For receiving feedback, it advises having an open mind and thanking the other party. It provides guidelines for holding post mortem meetings, including focusing on issues rather than people and developing action plans for improvement.

This document summarizes a workshop on promoting creative thinking through classroom activities. It defines creative thinking as looking at things in new ways, generating original ideas, thinking outside the box, and using both sides of the brain. It lists characteristics of creative thinkers as being adventurous, curious, and able to think independently. Strategies for developing creative thinking discussed include brainstorming, using imagination, problem solving, role playing, free association, and observation. Hands-on materials, seating arrangements, and lighting/color are also addressed as ways to foster creativity.
This document provides guidance for students on brainstorming and selecting ideas for a senior project. It emphasizes turning off inner criticism to boost creativity, collaborating with others, exploring interests and passions, and finding inspiration from other sources. Students are instructed to generate many ideas quickly through divergent thinking and then narrow their focus to the five most viable options by asking questions. The overall goal is for students to leave with genuine enthusiasm for several potential senior project topics.
The document discusses solutions-focused techniques for facilitating change. It introduces the concept of "sparkling moments" where participants share a time when they handled change well. Participants then affirm each other's skills and qualities. They are prompted to think about small actions for development. The document contrasts "problem talk" with "solutions talk" and outlines the main tenets of solutions focus: start with what's working, do more of what works, and do something different if it's not working.
1. The document discusses where good ideas come from and outlines five stages of developing ideas.
2. It begins by establishing that problems are the starting point for ideas and discusses a historical example of an advertising executive being asked how he comes up with ideas.
3. The five stages of developing ideas are outlined as getting initial ideas out, letting the subconscious work on the problem, being ready for ideas to emerge unexpectedly, shaping ideas for practical usefulness, and sharing ideas with others.
The document discusses lateral thinking and Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats technique. Lateral thinking involves approaching problems in unexpected ways instead of using logical thinking. The Six Thinking Hats technique uses six colored hats to represent six different perspectives or thinking styles (white for facts, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for optimism, green for creativity, blue for process control) to help people analyze decisions from multiple viewpoints. Using this technique can help identify weaknesses, risks, and new solutions that typical logical thinking may miss.
This document contains slides from a presentation by Sue Johnston on upgrading an organization's operating system from one of unilateral control to one of mutual learning. The presentation discusses two types of operating systems - a traditional rigid mindset focused on unilateral control and fixed assumptions, and a more agile growth mindset focused on mutual learning, transparency, and transforming assumptions. It provides examples of how each type of operating system shows up in values, assumptions, and behaviors. The presentation then offers suggestions for upgrading an organization's operating system, including reflecting on one's own behaviors and mindset, using useful questions to invite mutual learning with others, and making small changes that can start to shift the overall culture over time.

Lateral thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves looking at problems in unconventional ways rather than just analyzing them logically. It was developed by Edward de Bono in 1967. Lateral thinking seeks alternative solutions by ignoring traditional assumptions and patterns. Some techniques include recognizing polarizing ideas, searching for different perspectives, and using chance instead of logical steps. Examples show how lateral thinking can divide a square into four equal parts in non-traditional ways or space plants equidistantly in novel configurations.
This document outlines the BUILD process for identifying needs through human-centered entrepreneurship. It discusses conducting observations and interviews over several weeks to deeply understand individuals and systems. Needs are defined as things that could improve experiences related to physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem or self-actualization needs. Wants are desires that are unnecessary but fulfilling. The document emphasizes identifying needs before developing solutions and provides examples to distinguish needs-based versus wants-based approaches.

The document discusses Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats framework and how it can be applied to doctoral studies. The Six Hats include White (facts), Red (emotions), Black (risks), Yellow (optimism), Green (creativity), and Blue (process). It provides examples of how each hat could be used in areas like communication between faculty and students, objective analysis and evaluation, generating new ideas, and conducting well-rounded research that considers emotions. The framework is presented as a useful code, game, trigger, and template to improve various aspects of the doctoral research process.
The document provides five steps to developing a meaningful business from an idea:
1. Start small by finding a practical "seed" of an idea based on annoyances, needs, or passions.
2. Launch a project around the idea by researching it in notebooks, online, and through related people and activities.
3. Carve out daily quiet time for reflection on how the idea is evolving or facing obstacles.
4. Form a board of honest friends to get candid feedback on "the project" and help identify ways to improve it.
5. Think big by considering how the idea could have massive adoption, important implications, or significant repercussions in order to fail big or succeed at a large scale
The document proposes a music video concept that features an actor singing and playing guitar in a post-apocalyptic world created through visual effects. The target audience is teenagers and young adults who listen to Ed Sheeran. The video will start slow and surreal, then increase in pace, using effects to depict a broken world. It will have a gritty, dark tone established through color grading and imagery of a desolate landscape. The goal is to explore a fantasy of what a post-apocalyptic world might look like set to popular music.
The document proposes music video ideas for three songs: "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran, "Clouds" by Newton Faulkner, and "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams. For "I See Fire", the idea is a narrative video showing the singer walking through a post-apocalyptic world, intercut with performance clips, using effects to create fire. For "Clouds", the idea is to film a guitarist playing in a field with clouds passing overhead. For "Summer of 69", the idea is to show a band aged 30+ performing and reminiscing about their summer of 69 through black-and-white flashbacks. All three proposals aim to connect the visuals to the

Christopher Nolan is an American film director known for directing complex thriller films such as Memento, the Dark Knight trilogy, and Interstellar. The document provides details about Nolan's background and career, including his most famous films. It then focuses on his 2008 film The Dark Knight, giving a plot summary and analyzing aspects of its direction, cinematography, editing, sound, and how it fits the thriller genre. The review praises the film's exhilarating action sequences and Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker.
1) The opening scene uses a mirror and shots filmed through a mirror to represent the baby's fragile bone structure and foreshadow that something is abnormal about the baby.
2) When the protagonist goes through a train tunnel, the transition to artificial light foreshadows that something unnatural will occur.
3) The successful black doctor wears a suit that signifies his professional status and reinforces the initial information given about the baby's condition.
The document analyzes the opening scene of the film "The Sixth Sense" through its camera angles, mise-en-scene, sound, and editing techniques. The camera stays at a mid-shot as a girl goes into a dark wine cellar, putting the audience on edge. Close-ups of her worried face and a later wide shot of a terrified couple hiding imply a lurking threat. Broken items and darkness increase tension. Silence heightens unease before a jump scare. Slow pacing and a single continuous shot create realism and suspense from the start. An amplified gunshot hints the man shot may become a ghost.
The document provides an analysis and critique of a student film. It summarizes the key scenes and techniques used in the film. It notes that while the film accomplished its comedic goals and had no continuity errors, some techniques like handheld camerawork, excessive slow motion editing, and loud diegetic sounds distracted from the story and could be improved in future films. Overall, the critique suggests paying closer attention to camera stability, sound mixing, and restraining editing gimmicks that lose their humor if overused.
This storyboard document outlines 22 shots to tell a story that begins as a realistic depiction of a policeman character playing a violent video game, but reveals itself to actually be depicting real events reported on the news, causing the boy playing the game to worry that his actions in the game somehow impacted real life. The storyboard provides details on camera angles, shot lengths, and music/sound effects for each shot to help visualize the unfolding narrative.
The document outlines a student film project that explores the idea of a teenage boy playing a violent video game where the player takes on the role of a police officer chasing and killing criminals. The sequence would show the game being played from a first-person perspective and then reveal that the events actually occurred in real life. The document discusses the narrative, themes, target audience, practical details of filming over three days at different locations, addressing potential problems and incorporating thriller film conventions.
Steven Spielberg is one of the most successful and influential directors in the film industry. He is known for classics like E.T. and Jurassic Park, as well as more recent films like Bridge of Spies. Some of his most notable works include Jaws (1975), which created suspense through techniques like minimal shark screen time set to a dramatic score, and Minority Report (2002), a neo-noir thriller about a future crime prediction system that questions the reliability of images and predictions. Spielberg continues to direct and produce popular films while also working in television. He has received many awards over his decades-long career and helped establish concepts like the blockbuster film.
- The director of Taken was Pierre Morel and it was produced by Luc Besson's company Dune Entertainment. It was distributed by 20th Century Fox.
- The target audience was young adults who enjoy violent, thrilling movies. It was rated 15-18 due to strong drug themes.
- The genre is thriller and action adventure. It contains conventions of this genre like chase scenes, a protagonist vs antagonist, and fight scenes.

It discusses the institutions involved in producing and distributing the film, including Phoenix Pictures and Paramount Pictures. The target audience is identified as young adults, due to its 15 rating. The genre is identified as thriller, with complex plotlines and riddles meant to engage viewers in solving the story. The main character is a detective portrayed as both clever and crazy, set on an isolated island housing patients.
1) Inception was directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by Emma Thomas for Warner Bros. Pictures.
2) The target audience was teens to adults due to its 12 rating and complex plotline that could confuse and intrigue viewers of all ages.
3) The film is a thriller genre, featuring conventions like a confusing plot, action scenes, protagonists versus antagonists, and a soundtrack building tension. It leaves the viewer questioning what happened at the end, like typical thrillers.
The document discusses several narrative conventions and structures used in films. It defines narrative as a string of causally connected events unfolding in space and time. Common narrative structures discussed include the three-act structure with introduction, rising action, and crisis/falling action. Other structures covered are the narrative structure with set up, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution, as well as Tzvetan Todorov's structure of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and new equilibrium. The document also discusses conventions for characters, including flat and round characters, and developing characters through conversations, groups, descriptions, and reactions. Common themes, techniques, and methods used in thriller films are also outlined.
The document discusses key elements of character goals, obstacles, choices, and conflicts that are central to any narrative. It notes that characters should have goals and encounter obstacles to create drama, and that they make choices that lead to consequences understood by viewers. There are five main types of conflict described: relational between characters; inner within a character; societal between a person and group; situational depending on events; and cosmic between a character and supernatural force. Examples of each type of conflict are given from the film Batman Vs Superman.
This document discusses different aspects of narrative structure in films. It explains that narratives follow a logical order of cause and effect that ties together character traits, goals, obstacles and actions to tell a story. It then provides an example of the three-act narrative structure from the movie "Taken", followed by definitions and explanations of common narrative structures like the three-act structure, setup/exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It also discusses how characters are developed and the importance of character traits in driving the narrative forward from the opening to late scenes.
This document discusses several key elements and conventions of thriller films. It notes that thriller films need specific conventions like dim colors to avoid becoming generic. It also highlights the importance of breaking conventions occasionally, such as having the "dumb blonde" character survive, in order to create variation and appeal to wider audiences. Finally, it defines thrillers as films that create thrill, excitement and intense emotions through the use of suspense, tension and excitement across various subgenres like crime or mystery films.
The document summarizes the opening scene of the film "The Dark Knight". It discusses the plot twists, multiple storylines, and misleading elements that create suspense. Technical elements like camerawork, editing, sound, and costumes are analyzed for how they build tension. While most conventions are followed, the criminals wear unusual bright colored masks. The opening is rated exciting but could provide more context after the robbery starts.
