The Innovation Balance • No Problem…. ….No Solution • No Contraddiction . . . . . . . . No Invention
Operative Learning"the answer is within the problem“ A.Einstein The Dialectic Paradox Exercise (From “Creative Genius”) This is a 4 four step exercise to learn one principle of “inventing”. How to extract a solution from within the problem itself using the principle: Resolution of Opposites
The Dialectic Paradox: Step 1 Goal: Extract & Consolidate Knowledge. Method: Find the word that most describes the problem. Mechanism: Put a problem or issue into one word. Example: If it is a struggle with someone, perhaps the word most descriptive of the problem would be "conflict". If it is a feeling of being unmotivated or stuck, perhaps the word might be "stagnate". Find the best word to describe the negative side of the problem.
The Dialectic Paradox: Step 2 Goal: Search & Extract New Knowledge Method: Find the polar opposite word. Mechanism: Choose the word that best describes the ideal resolution of the issue. Example: the resolution of "conflict" could be "harmony" and for "stagnate", it might be "motivated".
The Dialectic Paradox: Step 3 Goal: Generate New Concepts Method: Semantic Innovation Mechanism: Put the words into a two word phrase. Example: "motivated stagnation" or "stagnate motivation", or "harmonious conflict" or "conflictual harmony".
The Dialectic Paradox: Step 4 Goal: Synthesize New Solution Method: Resonate with these opposites Mechanism: think of some examples of them in an object or process Example: "harmonious conflict" might be mediation, negotiation, symphony, akido, parasites, fever. "Stagnate motivation" might be hibernation, cocoon, meditation, yoga, etc. This step is one that usually takes some time and/or is one that is helpful to brainstorm with other people.
