Idea to Value - Creativity and Innovation with Nick Skillicorn

Why are blank pages so scary?

What causes writer's block?
While there have not been that many academic studies on the causes of writer's block, there are likely three main components which contribute:
* The way the brain forms new idea through combinations, and the required triggers which a blank page does not provie
* Self Judgement that an idea is not good enough when it is originally formed
* Self-imposed inflexible rules and plans as to how the creative process should work

The HiPPO: Highest Paid Person's Opinion.

This is the tendency in most organisations for people to just follow the opinion or decision of the most senior person in the room when ideas are being presented, even if it is not usually the best idea, and certainly not the most creative idea.

For information on how you can overcome the HiPPO, read the full article over at https://www.ideatovalue.com/lead/nickskillicorn/2019/01/hippos-are-killers-of-ideas/
