Think Different | Chris Griffiths | TEDxCardiff
Get out of the habit of concentrating on just ‘getting stuff done’ and into the practice of ‘getting it done better’. Chris Griffiths will draw on his own extensive observation and experience to introduce a single insightfully practical concept that will empower you to overcome challenges by thinking ‘differently’.
Chris is the founder of OpenGenius, the company behind the iMindMap and
Droptask tools that have been used by millions worldwide. He has authored two
Amazon bestselling books that have been sold in over 15 countries and translated
into seven languages. He is responsible for a network of over 600 innovation trainers worldwide and has personally facilitated ideation sessions for many businesses, governments, and humanitarian events, including the Petra Conference of Nobel Laureates.
Innovation comes from doing things differently, not from firmly sticking to what has worked in the past. Before we unleash our creative energy on finding new killer ideas, we need to challenge the assumptions we’re making now and throw away the ones that may be holding us back. Chris will discuss a simple way we can do this.

There is no box, how would you ship your products? I love how this concept changes they way we think!
Excellent.
Bravo Chris , Great Talk ! I was lucky to have you and Toni Buzan as teachers :-). A bientot
Think out of the box, great idea. Mind Maps allow you to think out of the box.
What happens if we think AS the box? Does the box like people thinking inside it or outside it? What if it actually wants to be someplace else? Away from all this 'crazy' people using it for purposes the box does not find exciting? Methinks it is critical we think DESPITE the box, WITHOUT the box and AS the box.
I personally hate the phrase “outside the box”, because to simplify it all to a box is very 1 dimensional. I use the Birdcage in my talks and training seminars - take away the bars and the bird flies free. But each bar is put there by us, from assumptions to rules we impose. By removing the bars we remove what holds our minds back. Kids are certainly more creative but useless at “applied creativity” - which is what business and companies like NASA need.
