Imagine an alternative design for a problem

You want another way to approach an ordinary practical challenge.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

  1. Draw or describe the current arrangement and the problem it creates.
  2. Imagine changing one element: order, size, location, material, or who participates.
  3. Compare the new arrangement with the constraints and choose a small test if appropriate.

An example

Moving frequently used supplies to the front may make the shelf easier to use.

Reflect

Which change addresses the problem rather than merely looking different?

Next time

Test feasibility before investing in the imagined solution.
