After the learning about brain storming in class this ted talk summed up the whole concept of brain storming. It's about collaboration, patience and a conducive environment.
When we brainstorm we have to collaborate. I like how he mentioned a coffeehouse as many people go to coffeehouses. Its a place where you have a collection of people with different experience and different backgrounds. When we have part of an idea we need to collaborate with others to finish the entire idea. We need people to share their own ideas so that we can knit peoples ideas together to form a whole new idea. We don't ever come up anything original, however what we do is collect different ideas, inspiration and experience from different places. Put them together and we get something new and "original". And coming together and sharing ideas really helps us create the solution faster and more efficiently.
When we want to come up with idea, we have to have patience. When we form an idea, we don't usually have the "LIGHTBULB" moment but rather the faint idea pops up in head long before we actually finish the idea. We get little bits of the idea or a certain direction over a period of time. It just takes time to reach the point of actually solving it or it takes time to experience something that evokes the defining idea.
And to generate ideas, we have to surround ourselves with people with the same problem. We have to be in a place where we are comfortable sharing our ideas, sharing our failures and work as a team. Its when we do this, its when we start to progress forward. We include people with specialties and skills when we face a problem and bumps during the creative process.
By coming together, contributing with their own skills and set in a conducive environment. Ideas and creativity and flow. I feel that i can apply this back to my Creative Thinking class as most of our work requires us to work in our teams and making use of the tips in the video would help our productivity.
