General hints on problem solving and creativity:
- As discussed in lectures, if we want to create a car we do not necessarily want to think conventionally that a car should always have a typical boxed shape, with four doors and four wheels!
- If Henry Ford went to his customers and asked, "What do you want for transportation?" his customers would have probably answered "Faster horse"! Hence, it is imperative that we keep customers need, want and demand in mind when creating a solution i.e. product or service - but also keep in mind that our customers may not always know what they need! So here you have to think outside the box and get creative!
- New ideas can always be generated through brainstorming, crowd sourcing and other ways, but keep in mind that some of the innovative ideas may result from reconfiguration of existing ideas.
