"I have to tell you that the group you addressed are a high energy, highly talented and highly trained sales force. Needless to say they are not easy to please, especially when egos come into play. Further, grabbing and then holding their attention can be an even more challenging task. However, not only were you able to get their attention and keep it, but you were also able to inspire them beyond. . . their limits."
Beverly J. Wender, Senior Vice President, InterFirst Wholesale Mortgage Lending

Innovative Thinking
Creative solutions to different problems have similar characteristics.
To be able to solve any problem in a creative way, it is helpful to know these
common characteristics, and to use them correctly in order to focus the search for a solution.
A good creative solution to any problem meets the following criteria:
- It's not creative unless it sells.
- It must completely solve the problem.
- It must not rely on many resources.
- It can not produce negative side effects.
- It is a solution that few will find.
- It must be implementable at the lowest level.
- It must be acceptable at the highest level.
Every day each of us faces new problems that need proactive solutions.
No matter what you do for a living, what you want to accomplish in your life,
or how you wish to live your life we must react to forces around us and determine
whether we can overcome the challenge and be more productive or be reduced to
minimal accomplishments in the face of adversity.
In 1953 Jonas Salk used a weakened strain of the polio virus to almost end polio. No one had looked at the problem itself as the source of the solution.
Walt Disney saw a swamp and purchased the land cheaply. What he saw in Orlando was Disney World and the rest is history.
An artist, Yaacov Agam, wanted to develop an innovative art form. He painted on a page folded several times like an accordion. When the viewer looks from the right, he sees one picture, and when viewed from the left, the viewer sees something differently.
Yanni wanted to write music, but he could not read music. He heard the music
in his head and developed his own 'music language' to become one of the most
prolific composers of our times.
These solutions were considered to be breakthroughs…creative solutions. The inventors
All have something in common…can you see if you can discover the one common element?
