A tremendous amount has been written about Executive Compensation, and lately, most of this information has been extremely unflattering. Much of the criticism has resulted from the gross excesses, misinterpretations of regulations, and the rash of criminal cases brought against the top management of a number of large firms, such as WorldCom, Tyco, Enron, and a host of others. Virtuall
The start of the process involves building a sizeable idea pool of quality ideas. In this article, we can define quality as being a large number of ideas and a large number of diverse and novel ideas.
Simply creating the above three categories enhances the size of the idea pool. Whereas we might initially have come up with 20 ideas, we are now consciously able to come up with 20 ideas and then 20 others that are purposefully diverse and yet still 20 more that are purposefully novel. This framework that we are beginning to construct begins to show the value of frameworks and models. They break up problems into smaller, more manageable parts and allow the mind to focus on each.
We can also use lateral thinking techniques to enhance the size of our idea pool. This involves processes such as generating ideas without conscious direction, for the sake of generating ideas, purposefully ridiculous ideas, ideas generated from links to diverse and novel objects that have no relation to the apparent problem.

It has been a while since the last toy craze, I believe it was the Tickle Me Elmo toy that sparked the last one. Before that the Beanie Babies craze was in full swing and collecting was fun and often quite lucrative. The newest is the Webkinz craze. It is hard to predict how long the Webkinz craze will continue. The Beanie Babies craze seemed to bottom out overnight, leaving serious inv

There’s nothing more rewarding to an apparel retailer than a store full of customers. They’re shuffling through racks, swiping their cards, and lining up at the dressing room to try on merchandise. Some of those outfits will no doubt be going home with the customer, and that’s good news for the bottom line. But the bad news might lie in what’s left behind.It’s no secret to the

Some have used terms like telecommuter or working from home.Employers are looking for alternatives to having a full-time employee. Hiring a skilled Virtual Assistant helps to cut costs normally associated with on-site em
Next, we can use logical thinking to generate ideas and increase the quality of the idea pool still further. This involves using established models and associations that are recognised as being linked to the problem to generate ideas. For example, a million business models exist to address particular problems. SWOT, PEST, Five Forces, Competitive Advantages etc can be used if the issue is indeed a business one.
All of the above requires that creative thinking in general be used. That is daring, uninhibited, free-spirited, imaginative, unpredictable and revolutionary.
With a sizeable and good quality idea pool, we now begin to use critical thinking to reduce the ideas to feasible ones – applied creativity. Critical thinking involves being reductive, logical, focused, conservative, practical and feasible.
Once we have a list of feasible ideas, we then further reduce the selection further through risk-reward mechanisms such as the S-curve and idea source probabilities. That is because most organizations do not have the resources to innovate all their good ideas and so only the most likely are given the resources and opportunity to succeed.
