Are you getting stuck when it comes to creative problem-solving? Are you trying to brainstorm ideas, but find yourself caught in the same cyclical thinking? There are a number of techniques you can use to get out of these ruts, and in this Take 10 webcast we'll introduce you to one that relies on "forced connections."

The "forced connections" approach requires you to think of relations between two unrelated concepts in order to generate new ideas. In just 10 minutes, learn how to use this exercise in the problem-solving process. Along the way, you will see how posing questions about the problem at hand can help you find a solution. You will also discover how thinking about the attributes and descriptors of seemingly unrelated objects and images opens your mind to new and unexpected ideas. With this technique in your toolbox, who knows what you and your team will think of next?
