Action points
If you face a creative challenge then try the following:
- Don’t start looking for the answer. Spend time setting the parameters of the problem, including all the variables required for the ideal solution.
- Bring your team together, but put them under pressure. Set a tight deadline, don’t be afraid to be critical, and chuck in additional hurdles to energise the brain to keep going.
