TAPPING CREATIVITY

5. Invite the opinions of others-<br> Effectively harvesting the opinions of other people is the goal. In organizations that can afford it, this can be done via focus groups or surveys, but it could also mean bringing in people from other departments, offices or by talking with your existing customers.
It is surprising how time and again the input of others, especially those not directly involved in a project can help your creative efforts.
This list of ways to tap creativity is by no means complete. Always be open to new ideas and opinions as they may help you in your innovative mission. When you do reach a block it is often necessary to take a break, work on a different activity, but if you force non-conforming solutions by using opposites or personas, you may often find the tool you need to unleash a creative and novel solution.
