Ep.97 - Is your thinking a little bland? Time to liberate structures

The Occupational Philosophers - A not-so-serious business podcast to spark Creativity, Imagination and Curiosity

Have you ever sat in a brainstorm and thought, "Well this is pretty shit."

Most of us have and it sucks the energy out of the room like a backwards tornado.

John had a great week, read a book and got so excited about it, he wanted to share some of the possible antidotes to those crap house brainstorms.

In this short, sharp Inbetweener episode, The Occupational Philosophers discuss:

• How conventional structures for the way teams meet, problem-solve, and think creatively may be holding them back
• Why “Liberating Structures’ can help unleash a culture of innovation
• What happens when you get bats, nans and hippos in the room
• Some examples of liberating structures; 1-2-4-All, Troika consulting and Min Specs
• What is the difference between an MVP and a prototype?
• Why we still need to think about the environment along with structures
• How to reach out beyond your immediate domain of knowledge to open up minds to possibilities

As ever, The Occupational Philosophers hope you enjoy the show (and tell your friends)

FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that - smaller episodes 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a fruity burst of energy to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process.
