Think out of the box

V Sushmitha ReddyIIIT D&M Kancheepram

This presentation is inspired From a TED talk by GiovanniCorazza on creative, outOf box thinking.

Often people say “come on! Think out of the box. It’s Easy”

But you feel its very tough!

Why should one think out of the box?

I’m comfortable in the box as I agree with everyone here.

Why should I risk my reputation?

Here’s the answer for you..!

As we all live in a network where we share information and at the end we all have the same information

Then how are we different?

Where does our dignity of being human being lie?

It’s in your thoughts!

It lies with what we want to do with that information

It’s not a luxary to think creative and out of the box.

It’s a necessity

Which box should I get out of?

It’s not your mind

It’s the boundary within your mind!

The boundary between what you know and what you haven’t thought about till then

How do I get out of the box?

When you focus on a particular area you know how things are and what are the requirements and specifications.

When you go out of the box, you need to add something more.

Something that’s beyond the convergent information

Could be something wrong and absurd to others

Where do I go when I get out of the box?

Now that question might scare you.

Value the long term thinking.

You need to be open minded, fluent and look for the alternatives.

You will end up landing on a beautiful idea.

How is the idea assessed?

Look for the match between your idea and the initial drive

When is it good to do?

If an environment punishes mistakes, one would never take a step to go out of the box.

When you want to do the creative thinking you should allow the exsistence of divergent information.

• Giovanni Corazza in his speech has

also stated an example of how TED talks could be arranged thinking out of the box.

What if TED talk is organized in a stadium?

Now, that’s out of BOX

Recap

• Think out of the box• The boundary is within our mind• Allow the divergent information• Value the ‘long thinking’
