Discover disciplined dreaming: a five-phase approach: ask, prepare, discover, ignite, launch—that turns constraints into breakthrough creativity, as Tom Lix reimagines whiskey production in one week and outpaces bigger competitors.
Apply the creativity brief to focus your creativity toward a clear outcome, map steps, anticipate challenges, address resistance, and define audience, communication, competition, and metrics.
Embrace the preparation phase to drive maximum creativity. Prepare like top performers by warming up, rehearsing, and planning the steps to deliver your best work.
Discover step three by looking in every corner and gathering raw materials for inspiration, like Twyla Tharp collecting ideas in a box, or a chef at a farmers' market.
Borrowed idea from an idea bank: look outside your field for inspiration, borrow from Netflix, Tesla, or Uber, then bring ideas back home to drive breakthroughs.
Engage the scamper technique in the ignite phase of discipline dreaming, using rapid-fire prompts to substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to another use, eliminate, and reverse.
In the launch phase, reintroduce the left brain to narrow the creative output, select our best ideas, prototype a model to test merit, and turn creativity into meaningful business results.
Use a scoring matrix to rank ideas by cost, risk, shareholder equity impact, resources, and time to market, then apply value mapping, poker chip method, and trial by jury.
