Classic Creative Thinking card deck | Sneakerfish™

Description

The Sneakerfish™ Classic Creative Thinking card deck is designed around six core creative thinking techniques. Each technique has eight inspiration and provocation card that ignite synapses and provide fresh perspective.

• Made to Measure: Open up new solutions by changing a key element of your situation such as the size, weight or speed.
• Mash Up: Combine your challenge or opportunity with something unusual to stimulate new possibilities.
• Professional Help: Gain a fresh perspective by considering what someone in another profession would do.
• Taking Care of Business: Cross-pollinate with systems and processes of a different type of business
• Sensory Perception: Experiment with how our traditional and non-traditional senses might lead to new possibilities.
• Totally Random: Really flex your creative muscles by playing with how a totally random concept could provoke new thinking

Use the Sneakerfish™ Classic Creative Thinking card deck on your own or with a group. When you have multiple small groups you can give each team their own deck or break up the deck so that each team has a few cards from each “technique type” or each has a specific technique to work with.

There are many ways to use the Sneakerfish™ Classic Creative Thinking card deck, but a typical process could involve:

1. Identifying your opportunity or challenge (for multiple teams, each team might choose their own, or all work on the same one).
2. Either randomly select a card or purposefully select a card to apply to your opportunity or challenge. Note that randomly choosing one will be more of a creative jolt than pre-selecting one that we assume “will work”.
3. Read the card and apply the technique to your opportunity or challenge. The key to applying the technique is to FIRST brainstorm a list of all the things you know or associate with the provocation on the card, THEN look for ways that your list could inspire you to solve your problem or enhance your opportunity.
