In this podcast, I'll share some creativity techniques beyond design thinking to enhance your creativity.

1️⃣ Scramble Technique: Prompt your mind and others by using the Scramble technique. This involves substituting, combining, reversing, adding, multiplying, magnifying, minimizing, breaking up, breaking down, leveraging, or eliminating elements. Prompts like these can stimulate new ideas.

2️⃣ Strengthen Your Alternative Muscle: Train your brain to come up with multiple alternatives on the spot. The more alternatives you can generate, the more likely you are to discover innovative solutions. Practice substituting different elements and exploring new combinations.

3️⃣ Change Levels of Thinking: Shift your thinking to different levels of abstraction. Ask challenging questions like, "What if we had to eliminate that?" or "What if we couldn't use this material?" This encourages you to explore new connections, possibilities, and innovations.

By incorporating these creativity techniques into your thinking process, you can enhance your ability to generate innovative ideas.
