Random Stimulation
This is a discovery approach to finding ideas, looking in random places where we detect no kind of parallel in the hope of finding something of value.
Random Stimulation – Step One
Select any product you want to improve
Write down the attributes of that product
Random Stimulation- Step Two
Choose any word at random from a dictionary or from the list below:
Barrack, tent, truant, blossom, cake, truck, fire, paper, lamp, shirt, cigarette, TV, cow, heart, gambler, book, bed, spectacles, bath tub, toothbrush, shoes, circle, sky, branch, glue, ulcer, cloak, weed, miracle, forest.
List the features or ideas that the word brings to your mind.
Random Stimulation – Step Three
Now force fit the first attribute of the product with the first attribute/idea of your random word.
Do it for all the attributes you have listed for the product.
Plant Analogy
Plants are the basic producers of all food. They trap solar energy and store it up as starch. To do this they need water taken in through the roots and carbon dioxide gas taken in through the leaves. In addition for healthy growth they need various minerals from the soil which may have to be replaced with compost or fertilisers. Plant systems offer many useful parallels for analysing the business situation in fresh ways.
Plant Analogy What kind of plant is our business most like – flower,
vegetable, shrub, tree? What is the sunshine of our business? What cuts off the sunshine and shades the plant? Describe the root system and explain how it spreads. Are there any stones or layers of hardpan or rock that
restrict the root growth? Does the plant get sufficient water; how can it be
watered or irrigated? Does the plant need fertilising, and if yes how this
done? Is there a natural limit to the growth of this kind of
plant even if no other plants compete? Explain. Does the plant produce seeds?

• Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop, use, exploit, and enjoy your greatest strengths.
• Learn to free yourself from the expectations of others and to walk away from the games they try to impose upon you.
