Increase your chances of discovering the breakthrough insights you need to unlock a creative thinking challenge.
In life, creativity and cognitive psychology, insight is defined as the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of someone or something. In this way, insight involves shining a light on a possible solution to the problem we have defined.
Insights are born when we make connections between thoughts, facts, and ideas that weren’t connected before we put them in the blender of our brain and then, crucially, joined the dots.
Developing genuinely transformative insights not only helps you solve problems; it also increases the chances of a creative breakthrough, and it makes the process of having new ideas less painful and random. Perhaps most importantly, generating insights is the key to unlocking motivation and inciting behaviour change. In our age of Big Data, there’s never been so much information available that could – but often doesn’t – help us solve the challenges we face. Social and digital media content, for example, provides an unfiltered stream of potential intelligence that previous generations of researchers could only dream of. But the challenge is harvesting and harnessing the relevant corner of Little Big Data that provides the content and context for insight.
Despite rapid, recent advances in neuroscience and the ability to map what’s going on inside our heads, our understanding of how we think and have ideas is still in its infancy. But we do know quite a bit about the process of idea generation and the necessary stages we need to pass through in order to maximise our chances of having breakthrough insights.
