EdgeDweller Dispels Myth – “Genius is Born, Not Created”

Of the three key components of transformational problem solving, high-level decision makers can transform teams and business most by developing genius-thinking patterns. Since November 2009, EdgeDweller Innovation Intensive participants have proved that genius-thinking patterns can be taught, learned and put to work the very next week.

Each team will apply their new thinking skills to transform one key business or organizational challenge. Individual take away includes transformational thinking skills for daily problem solving that can be used right away. Team take away includes a new solution to a challenging issue that addresses sustainable growth and long term competitive advantage.

Individual Highlights

know how to select and then evolve seemingly absurd ideas into valid ones
learn when to use and when not to use logical thinking in high-level problem solving
learn which filters you use to suppress your creativity and how to identify and move beyond them
create a “new to world” or transformational business or institutional solution in a small group setting

Team Highlights

understand the value of different types of individuals and thinking patterns relative to high growth problem solving
learn the team's strengths and weaknesses for each of the seven genius thinking patterns
know how to work as a team to select and then evolve seemingly absurd solutions into valid ones
learn how to recognize when team moves into logical thinking prematurely in high level problem solving
create a “new to world” or transformational business or organizational solution important to your team
identify team patterns and growth-sacrificing tendencies related to creating, narrowing and developing new high growth solutions for your organization

While genius thinking is used to generate the highest levels of creative thought, critical thinkers can be engaged by the logic behind the patterns in creative thinking. From this logical perspective, critical thinkers can learn the techniques and benefits of moving into advanced creativity with their problem solving experiences.
