Disney Method
The Disney Method, referring to the Walt Disney Creative Strategy, was further developed by Robert Dilts in 1994, in which four different thinking styles are used in turn, and repeated in a cycle until the necessary goals have been adequately fulfilled. Method It involves sequential thinking to analyse a problem, generate ideas, evaluate ideas, construct and critique a plan of action. The four thinking styles are – outsiders, dreamers, realisers, and critics: # In the first thinking style the group thinks as "outsiders" to gain an analytical, external view of the challenge. # # They then act as "dreamers" to brainstorm ideal solutions. They use divergent thinking to conceive creative and radical ideas. # # In the next mode the group adopts a "realiser" viewpoint. They act as pragmatic realists and use convergent thinking to review the ideas left by the dreamers. They select the best idea and construct a plan for it. # # The fourth viewpoint is that of "critics". They review ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Another commonly used form of the name is Rupert.

Six Thinking Hats
''Six Thinking Hats'' was written by Dr. Edward de Bono. "Six Thinking Hats" and the associated idea of parallel thinking provide a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively. Underlying principles The premise of the method is that the human brain thinks in a number of distinct ways which can be deliberately challenged, and hence planned for use in a structured way allowing one to develop tactics for thinking about particular issues. De Bono identifies six distinct directions in which the brain can be challenged. In each of these directions the brain will identify and bring into conscious thought certain aspects of issues being considered (e.g. gut instinct, pessimistic judgement, neutral facts). Some may feel that using the hats is unnatural, uncomfortable or even counterproductive and against their better judgement. A compelling example presented is sensitivity to "mismatch" stimuli. This is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Creativity Techniques
Creativity techniques are methods that encourage creative actions, whether in the arts or sciences. They focus on a variety of aspects of creativity, including techniques for idea generation and divergent thinking, methods of re-framing problems, changes in the affective environment and so on. They can be used as part of problem solving, artistic expression, or therapy. Some techniques require groups of two or more people while other techniques can be accomplished alone. These methods include word games, written exercises and different types of improvisation, or algorithms for approaching problems. Aleatory techniques exploiting randomness are also common. Aleatory techniques Aleatoricism is the incorporation of chance (random elements) into the process of creation, especially the creation of art or media. Aleatoricism is commonly found in music, art, and literature, particularly in poetry. In film, Andy Voda made a movie in 1979 called '' Chance Chants'', which he produced b ...
