Solving problems often means looking for inspiration in other areas. Many innovative solutions are inspired by solutions from elsewhere.

Wondering how to get original ideas? It's easy: simply do the opposite of what seems logical in your situation.

If you try to solve a problem, it helps to change your perspective. For instance: imagine how a vastly different organisation might approach your challenge.

Sometimes it's more effective to go along with your adversary. Be like a martial arts master and use your opponent's force to get where you want to go.

Sometimes, terrible situations bring unexpected opportunities. The trick is to recognise and utilise these opportunities.

Don't focus your attention on things out of your control. Rather, focus on the areas you can actually change. A great tool for this is the CIA model.

The Subtraction technique is a powerful thinking technique to generate new ideas for innovative products and services.

The Dependency technique: Come up with new product-ideas by creatively linking characteristics.
