Obstacles to Soft Side Thinking
• Functional Fixedness
• Physical & Mental Blind Spots
• Cultural Programming
• Mechanistic & Deterministic Models
• Reductionist Empiricism
Cognitive Illusions
• Using steam to pump water to water wheels instead of driving the mill directly
• Including buggy whip holders on the first automobiles
• Constraining computer mediated communications to function like regular mail.
• Using multi media to produce interactive Books and Movies or otherwise emulate existing media.
• Comparing Cyberspace to the Interstate Highway System
Examples of Functional Fixedness:
Familiar Metaphors encourage Functional Fixedness
Psychological Fixation Blocks Creativity & VisionMaking it hard to adapt to such rapid change
Functional FixednessA Legacy of Positivist Thinking that is one of the Greatest Barriers to Mastering the Soft Methodologies
A Key Recurring Thought“Significant problems cannot be
solved at the same level of thinking that created them.”
Albert Einstein
