At this moment 'Warm up the brain' by Amantha Imber is the most listened to 'podcast on the DFEEST Innovative website. Warming up the brain only takes 2 minutes and is achieved by solving a "Fat chance" impossible problem, for example curing cancer in one week or global warming by this evening. Impossible problems are hard to solve and are accompanied by a tough time frame. How does it work? The brain shifts from logical mode into creative solution mode. At the beginnin of a staff meeting or planning day the chair or manager can pose a problem(or problems if we divide into groups) which are not related to work and spend 2 minutes coming up with 5 solutions.
My intention was to have a link to the podcast, however this is not to be!
Instead you can explore the website http://www.innovationacademy.com.au > Tools and tips and listen to all the other podcasts available.
I will purchase a copy of Amantha's book called "The Creativity Formula: 50 Scientifically proven ways to boost creativity in work and life".
