The Inspiration Expedition
A Journey to Creative Solutions
The Inspiration Expedition is a creative problem-solving technique that involves exploring different fields or industries to find inspiration for your own challenges. By stepping outside of your comfort zone, you can discover innovative ideas and approaches that you might not have considered otherwise.
How Does the Inspiration Expedition Work?
Define the problem: Clearly articulate the issue you're trying to solve.
Choose a different field: Select a field or industry that is completely unrelated to your problem. This could be anything from art to science or history to technology.
Explore and observe: Immerse yourself in the chosen field, exploring its concepts, processes, and solutions. Pay attention to interesting ideas or approaches that catch your eye.
Identify connections: Consider how the ideas or approaches you've discovered in the other field could be applied to your own problem. Look for similarities, analogies, or potential adaptations.
Capture and refine: Write down any potential connections or adaptations that you identify. Refine these ideas to make them more specific and relevant to your problem.
