Creativity Strategy

Take your next project and be creatively challenged using this exceptional NLP application to explore, refine and plan it.

These instructions refine a strategy used by Walt Disney for planning projects in his film making business. Disney used three specific rooms, each one equipped and furnished in a manner suited to its purpose.  (You might find it useful t have three pieces of paper labelled with the three states below and put them on the floor a meter apart so you can step on them separately.)

• The Dreamer           

Take your project into the Dreamer State and play around with ideas and possibilities, explore and modify your project till you are happy with it.

• The Realist           

Take you project from the Dreamer to the Realist and consider ways and means to achieve your outcome. Modify it or consider alternatives so that it is best achievable.

• The Critic           

Now step into the Critic State and review your project:  Does it work?  What would I need differently to make it work?  Are the risks acceptable?  Does it fulfil my needs?  Check each alternative separately and modify it till you come to a viable outcome.

To refine or explore your project further, you can take your modified outcome back to the Dreamer State and run it again through all three states till you are satisfied with your desired outcome. 

Note: 
Different people find certain states easier to use. Some are brilliant dreamers, other better realists and others excellent critics. However it is useful to become skilled in all three states.
