Imagining
|
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one - John Lennon
When we don't inspire imagination, we squash good ideas before they're even shared. We end up with more of the same old rehash. We're bored with being boring, and our customers will get bored with us, too.
Imagine, imagine, you can imagine...
The fun part! Focused by the work of Seeing, the visionary aspect of Imagining is where we let ourselves smile and daydream a silly dream that maybe...just maybe...what if?
It may feel a little dangerous, allowing our minds to cast off reality's shackles even for a short time, in a safe place. Yet, we all long for the chance to stretch and reach with joy towards what we really want, that elusive, improbable and statistically unsupported future. Everything on which we now rely once seemed impossible. Every great innovation came with a great leap of faith. Accessing the ability to believe, in a world designed to keep us data-driven-down, becomes a game-changing competency. What you want is good for you - how often does that happen?
Before we can dazzle a customer, first we need to dazzle ourselves. Whether your inner creative needs a gentle awakening, coaxing out, or is waiting impatiently to be released, you'll have a chance to meet yourself where you are and learn more about your team members' creative dispositions. Build common appreciation and language around the playful side of imagining, and surprise yourself and each other with what shifts in how you create value together.
