3. Some task appear to be easy

4. But are difficult to
perform

5. Your boss asking you to
think out of the box and give your innovative
ideas and opinion .

6. But you are unable to answer

8. So now we look forth how to simplify this not so
simple task with our journey of why how and
when

9. Why we need to go out of the box ?

10. When we are inside the box we are
agree to everybody
When we go out of the box our
years long reputation is at stake
so why
we need to go out of that safe box

11. We all are nodes of information and
share same data
What maintains our dignity as human beings
generating creative information
from same shared data
so it is a necessity ….

12. Which box are we talking about

13. This box is not out of our mind
it is the boundary or wall within our mind
between what we know and what we don’t know

14. Our box or safe zone is the
mixture of indirect experiences that we have
learnt in school and universities and direct
experiences which we have gathered from our
own success and failure

15. How to think out of the box
do we need to wait for an apple to fall

16. When we have a task or a
focus area we combine the
convergent and divergent thought to generate the
creative idea ..

17. Convergent information are the specifications and basic
information related to the focus area which we have
always known or the information which has always
existed
Divergent information is the creative thought or
idea which is out of the box

18. When we are thinking out of the box
we are in a dark place suspended
in between something unknown
We don’t have any preset conditions to act
accordingly

19. At this point of time we have the feeling to go
back into the safe old box but we have to resist
this feeling
Came out of the box

20. Generating creative ideas require Long thinking
We need to go far
We do not have to focus on
each note of the song
but have to feel the whole
symbolism and aura of the song

21. When we are on a journey out of the box-
association and combination of ideas
Extraction from the known information.
We need to be open minded
We need to be fluent

22. When we are creative no single answer is correct
We need to look for the alternatives

23. Assessment of our creative idea

24. when we are out of the box
we are in a completely
unknown territory
so how do we judge ?

25. Avoid pre assessment
this is the mechanism to kill our new idea

26. We need to look at the match between
our new or the creative idea and
convergent information that is the information inside
the box that has always existed of focus area

27. Should we challenge the environment by going out
of the box
what if the environment punishes us

28. If it punishes we will not go out of the box
So we need to stimulate the environment to be
creative by allowing flow of divergent information
and metaphors in the work place or the
organisation

29. A blink of a eye phenomenon or less than
that
Generation
of a creative idea
out of the box takes place
within few seconds

30. Understanding the concept by an example-
We try to make the TEDx talk creative
results of thinking out of the box -
• talk can be held in stadium may be during half time of a football match
• Brilliant speakers replaced by normal speaker with script
WILL THESE IDEAS WORK?
