Creative toolboxes

Exercise 1 – Step 1
Pick an object from this space.
It can be anything from a pen or shoe to table. I will use light bulb as an example so please choose something else.
![Page 16: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Exercise 1 – Step 2
Think of its main function.
The main function of a light bulb is “to illuminate”.
![Page 17: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Exercise 1 – Step 3Now think what use could the object have if you “eliminate” its main function.
Why would people want to have the thing without its main function?
E.g. What use could a light bulb have, if its main function was not to illuminate.
![Page 18: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Visual esthetics

”Conditional” visibility

Signal what is happening in a machine

To be a kickass weapon
![Page 22: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Creative strategies/action(1) Eliminate
+(2) Put to another use
![Page 23: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Exercise 2 – Step 1
Pick an object from this space.
It can be anything from a pen or shoe to table. I will use light bulb as an example so please choose something else.
![Page 24: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Exercise 2 – Step 2
Think of its main function.
![Page 25: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Exercise 2 – Step 2
Pick at an actions that does not relate to the object at all.
In case of light bulb the main function is “to illuminate”. So I choose “to walk”.
![Page 26: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Exercise 2 – Step 3
Combine the object and the actions.
![Page 27: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Exercise 3 – Step 1
Pick an object from this space.
It can be anything from a pen or shoe to table. I will use light bulb as an example so please choose something else.
![Page 29: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Exercise 3 – Step 2Think what is essential for its main function.
What mechanism or part is needed for its core function?
E.g. ‘class shell’ around the wolfram wire.
![Page 30: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Exercise 3 – Step 4
Pick another object
E.g. ‘a table’
![Page 31: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Exercise 3 – Step 4
Substitude the essential part by the other object
Light table… boring. Let me try again ‘door’. Using light as a door. Kind of theatrical effect… Better.

Two modes of coaching
Leading: Direct & explore
Following: Listen &
understand
![Page 37: Coaching teams in Creative Problem Solving v.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58edaaa71a28abd86d8b458d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Two modes of coachingFollowing - Listen• Listen • Reflect and rephrase• What kind of help the coachee
expects from you?
Leading - Explore• Reframe • Deconstruct (“abbauen“)• Help coachee to ”see” options,
opportunities and novel approaches?
Depending on your role in team and situation: Consider switching to mentoring or teaching mode

Key question: What might help people to be more creative and inventive?

Think of pains and struggles just before the moments of
”heureka” and ”aha, I got it”What creative struggles have had?
How it feels just before ”heureka” and why?

SolutionThe solution was that in some rare cases a field returned by SQL server was null (value did not exist) and the system threw NullReferenceException*. The end user saw just a generic “something went wrong” error.
You needed to add a null check.
[*] As some of you guessed already, the language was C#. In Java you get NullPointerException, not NullReferenceException.

Where?• Where should startups do risk management?• Irrelevant
• Where should startups not do risk management?• Customer premises?

Fine, but this does notyet solve the problem!

When?• When should startups do risk management?• Hour or two once per quarter is probably enough
• When should startups not do risk manement?• Irrelevant
A solution; maybe good enough

Conditions? Interfaces?• In which cases or within which conditions startups should do risk
management?• If they need to do decision having big financial impact
• In which cases or within which conditions should not startups do risk manement?• If they do sales• As a part of their everyday work (usually)
Great, we have a solution!

OutcomeThe coachee decided that:Once per quarter he will go to a restaurant with the founders of a startup. During that evening they go through what all could go wrong and get drunk (or another way around).
After that evening, the people switch back to the optimistic mode.

Case 3: We want to write and read massive amount of data from a table at the same time in SQL ServerGuess what --- we had a serious performance problem.

Where?• To where need I write data quickly?• I don’t care as long as the data is persisted to the database and never lost
• From where need I read data quickly? • I don’t care if I get valid data from database

NO WIN!

When?• When do I want to read data quickly?• When customer wants to download a dataset he have earlier stored to the
system
• When do I want to write data quickly?• When customer want to save or upload data to the system
NO WIN!

Conditions? Interfaces?• In which cases or within which conditions I want to read data quickly?• Always
• In which cases or within which conditions I want to write data quickly?• Only in those cases it have impact to user experience. If I do some stuff as a
background job it does not matter if it takes time.
ROCK! Now we’re talking…

Exercise 1-1: Getting started• Form 3-5 person groups• Choose the problem• Problem 1: New product vs. the old products• Problem 2: The impossible report
• Timebox: 2-3 minutes

Exercise 1-2: Analysis• Step 1: Analyze problem and formulate the contradiction. • Step 1.1. Draw the contradiction diagram• Step 1.2: The goal• Step 1.3: The sub-goal• Step 1.4: The implications and requirements
• Goal of all is to ”see” clearly what is the underlying fundamental contraction that makes the problem hard?
• Timebox: 10 minutes

Exercise 1-3: What if…• Step 2: Try to separate contradicting elementes by• Step 2.1. Space (abstract, social, mental, physical etc.)• Step 2.2: Time (chronological, experienced, physical etc.)• Step 3.3: Condition/interface (logical, contract, situation etc.)
• The goal of this is to find novel approach to the problem where the contradiction is no more relevant or hard?
• Timebox: 10 minutes
