It's hard to make time and space to think differently. We wait until we've created a creative emergency.
Solving problems together in the same room is good. But most brainstorms are really bad.
How many times have you been urged to 'get creative' - but everyone is just talking at a table, just like a meeting?
It would help if someone gave us an exercise to do - not our boss.
It would help if we could use our hands, our senses, and have some fun with it - like a boardgame.
THE CREATIVE EMERGENCY KIT
For those times when:
- You finish an amazing report, and the ‘working title’ now needs to go
- It's Friday afternoon and you just found out you need a stunt for Monday morning.
- Someone says “we need some blue sky thinking”... but does not offer any.

Lighter than a laptop
Everything you need is in the box: from simple instructions, to pens, to lego and word magnets.
You can take it one step at a time:
- Ask yourself the strategic questions.
- Exercises to help you come up with new ideas
- Exercises to help you build on those ideas.
...or you can just pick up whatever looks most fun
