The Creativity Cull
The word “cull” is possibly a bit extreme; it conjures up thoughts of killing and death. So often ideas are killed off before they even have time to take their first breath. We are excellent at telling anyone who comes up with an idea what is wrong with it, but we rarely stop to think what the benefits and values of the idea might be. This can be overcome using the Six Thinking Hats®, which encourages parallel thinking and ensures that all ideas can get a “fair hearing”.
