Try Ten™
“Think different” takes practice.
What do innovators do to flex the creative muscle every single day? They push themselves to think of more than one idea, answer, or solution.
Try Ten™ is a lightweight brainstorming partner that helps innovators with their daily practice.
Try Ten™ is inspired by two empirically validated quotations:
“Creativity is doing more than the first thing you think of.” (unknown seventh grader in Ohio)
x
“Creativity is the collision of two apparently unrelated frames of reference.” (Arthur Koestler)
Try Ten™ offers up a series of rapid-fire “collisions” with unexpected analogies to prompt fresh thinking, and helps innovators with the fundamental task of pushing beyond their first idea. By following the simple prompts in the daily training sessions below, innovators sharpen their creative impulses and reach better solutions.
Many innovators experience a genuine breakthrough when doing their daily practice, but even if they don’t, engaging in the daily habit of generating options serves to short-circuit the cognitive biases that prevent our best ideas from being discovered.
