Action 2
Rent-A-Crowd
Why not have your own Rent-a-crowd session to generate new ideas for your business? This involves inviting a small group from diverse backgrounds to come up with new ideas, potential improvements etc. You could create a panel of local business people who agree to brainstorm around all the participating company projects. Another option could be to invite a group of young people in for an idea generation session – you will be pleasantly surprised by the positive outcome.
The rules are simple: every idea and opinion is noted and honoured regardless of how ridiculous it may seem. This allows free flow and potential association.
Based on my own experience I have found that my most creative schemes came from some weird and wonderful suggestions from my advisors.
Remember creativity happens where different ideas meet.
