Описание: The TEDx talk describes a simple way to grow our small ideas into big innovations. The speaker, Dr Shankar Venugopal, explains how we can overcome our fear of rejection and pursue new ideas. He analyzes the cognitive basis of idea creation and gives a technique with which we can zap our logical brain for a short while so that our creative brain can freely create new ideas. He introduces a divergent thinking tool – CREATE – to build the momentum of ideation and generate many more ideas. Then he explains, using a mythological story how to overcome difficult constraints and solve the problem.
