What was challenging about implementing the concepts from this week? What came easily?
This week’s challenge was to generate additional ideas with limits. Incorporating the spinner coupled with a time limit gave left little for the imagination. I realized how short time really was when performing this exercise. Although, we were able to come up with a few ideas that generated positive feedback. This exercise was a challenge but also enjoyable.
How might you use one or more of these concepts in your life (school, work, or otherwise)? Provide specific examples.
One of the benefits of this particular assignment was the ability to think farther than the box. The spinner helped to produce ideas one typically would not have thought of. The concepts we came up with for our endeavor only helped us to expand upon promoting the therapy movement.
What role might the concepts play in entrepreneurship and the development of ideas?
The concepts we came up with this week would only help to find creative ways to market and implement alternative therapies. They would inspire people to give therapy a try, because it isn’t the same old concept.
What might be the ethical implications of using these concepts?
This week’s concepts don’t seem, to harbor any ethical implications. We were generating ideas that could promote awareness.
1. What was challenging about implementing the concepts from this week? What came easily?
The toughest part of this week’s assignment is thinking with limits. Only provide a solution based on what is asked of you is a bit hard. Because you’ve already had an idea of what you’re trying to perform, and your brain is don’t wired to think about anything else once you’ve already know what you want to do.
2. How might you use one or more of these concepts in your life (school, work, or otherwise)? Provide specific examples.
This method can be easily incorporated at work. Because we usually only think about “what’s in it for me” or the company, we never really take the time to explore other ideas or topic areas. Therefore, it can be easily incorporated at work.
3. What role might the concepts play in entrepreneurship and the development of ideas?
This process really enforces innovation. Because you’ve already used to see and solve the problem in a particular way, and this forces you to put on a different set of lenses to look at the problem.
4. What might be the ethical implications of using these concepts?
I don’t our solutions generated from this will have any ethical implications because we are gathering all ideas from what’s possible instead of what we can do.
What was challenging about implementing the concepts from this week? What came easily?
This week we let our minds loose! We set aside logic and came up with some pretty wild ideas for our new normal. It was amusing to use the spinner constraints to generate ludicrous ideas. It was challenging for me to sketch an image in one minute.
How might you use one or more of these concepts in your life (school, work, or otherwise)? Provide specific examples.
I am indeed using the spinner constraint with my family when we get together. It reminds me a bit of the game apples to apples without having to use the board game. I could envision how the spinner constraint can liven a meeting or training session.
What role might the concepts play in entrepreneurship and the development of ideas?
While we meet and brainstorm every week, we establish a personal connection with each other and become more comfortable sharing our ideas, however wild they are. I think the exercises are helping us open our minds to think outside the box and generate ideas through the eyes of our end-user.
What might be the ethical implications of using these concepts?
Depending on the audience, I believe the spinner constraint would require fine-tuning. Some ideas might be insensitive or offensive to some. Additionally, the one-minute time constraint limits specific individuals who don’t necessarily come up with prompts that quickly.
