Technique 6.40 Wishing

Introduction

Use your imagination to dream up the most unattainable, extreme and impractical solutions that you can think to a given problem/challenge, etc.

(source: Dani Mansfield, 2022)

Process

Create a wish list  and
"...Focusing on a selection of wishes, consider and discuss the ideas in detail, with the aim of triggering new and more realistic concepts to pursue..."
Dani Mansfield, 2022

Some questions to ask:

- What makes them impossible to pursue?

- Can an idea be changed, scaled-down, modified, etc to make it suitable?

- What features of that wish would you integrate into other approaches?

- Are there any applicable, real-world solutions amongst the wish list?
