Readers of this blog have known for a long time about my extreme interest in the topics of creativity and innovation. In my study I have accumulated several "Innovation Hero's," the likes of Patricia Seybold, Madan Birla, Ken Robinson, Tim Brown and most recently, Tim Hurson.

Productive Thinking is a signature theme of Hurson's. I have created a musical model to help you see what he means by Productive Thinking. Enjoy!

Tim Brown, Creativity and Play

This is Tim Brown. Author of Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation. He is one of my favorite creative gurus. He did this TED* Conference lecture in 2008.

I love it. And I think you will too.

And, low and behold, I came up with the musical model shown here, below. I'm sure you will be able to apply this model to your topic.

In Tim Brown's book, Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation, is a jewel of a model. The subject of his little hand-drawn visual is change, in general.

For four, plus years, I've been using a simular approach to teach my favorite Facilitating Tip. I've been calling it the "Football Tip" because it resembles the shape of a football.

I hope you enjoy this little musical model, , , and can adapt it to your topic or material. Joy!

"Don't think. Look."

From Tim Brown's best-selling book, Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation comes the quotation, "Don't think. Look." It's original source is not certain to me.

There is a lot to be said for a presenters attitude toward the visual aids you use. You should have absolute confidence in your graphic.

You command great attention from your audience when, while your speaking, you turn to your whiteboard and say, "Let's draw exactly how this works."

When you have total confidence in what you are drawing, your audience instantly identifies you as a highly credible expert in your field.

This positive approach works wonders for world-class presenters like Brian Buffini, Robert Kiyosaki, and Tony Robbins.

While these top pros do not say it out loud, secretly they know the power of a well-drawn message. They are confident their message has been delivered.

They silently shout, "Look."
