Lateral Thinking Tools - Concept Extraction

Wang Qiong: De Bono China's chief lecturer

Concept extraction begins with the idea that comes first, extracts some concepts, and then extends further along these concepts, resulting in more ideas.

For example, the focus on the need to address the question: "How to encourage employee innovation?
At first there was an idea: "Name the name of an employee to encourage innovation."
On the basis of this idea, you can extract a concept: "Let the individual sense of accomplishment."
And then to "personal accomplishment" as a fixed point of thinking, came up with a number of ideas:
Employees who have a particular contribution to the company's innovation, have their portraits printed on specific items to show their rewards; create "Company Hall of Fame"; reward them as "lifelong employees"; name their own funds; reward them for product names ; Reward dinner with the CEO and so on.
We can also extract more concepts, and then these new concepts as a fixed point, come up with more new ideas.
To come up with an idea is not the main, in this idea to extract a variety of new concepts and alternative methods, is the concept of thinking tools to extract the main points. In many enterprises with the "Chief Concept Officer (ChiefConceptEcceptor)", the main responsibility is responsible for the collection, research, development in all areas of the classic concept.
