About: What we do:  Our Point of View:  We believe everyone has the capacity to be creative.
Putting design to work:  We build on methods from across the field of design to create learning experiences that help people unlock their creative potential and apply it to the world.  Design can be applied to all kinds of problems. But, just like humans, problems are often messy and complex—and need to be tackled with some serious creative thinking. That’s where our approach comes in. Adding the d.school's tools and methods to a person's skill set often results in a striking transformation. Newfound creative confidence changes how people think about themselves and their ability to have impact in the world.

It's a process that helps you redefine the problems and opportunities you face, come up with new, innovative responses and solutions, and then take action. The tools and techniques used make the process fun, engaging, and collaborative. CPS not only helps you create better solutions, it creates a positive experience that helps speed the adoption of new ideas.

About:  A big part of what we learned in UX comes from online reading: articles, tutorials, resources, blogs — it's all available out there. But there's a lot. UX is becoming increasingly popular, and with that comes a lot of clutter, noise and disorientation. The UX Collective is our attempt at curating some of that content and giving it back to the community in a more structured and digestible way.

Quora is a place where you can ask questions you care about and get answers that are amazing.
Quora has only one version of each question. It doesn't have a left wing version, a right wing version, a western version, and an eastern version. Quora brings together people from different worlds to answer the same question, in the same place — and to learn from each other.

[Continued]  Each map categorizes the most important and actionable ideas about a topic into conveniently digestible chunks. It uses keywords and questions in a sentence-like structure that's easy to follow.   Each map provides you with a comprehensive bird's eye view of the topic. You subsequently gain deeper insights as you're better able to recognize how various ideas are connected to form the whole.    Each IQ Matrix represents a cluster of thoughts about a single topic. It's like a neuron network of interconnected thoughts where you meticulously explore the brain of someone who has successfully mastered the topic. You then take those "thought clusters" and implant them into your own brain as you work through the map. Kind of like a software upgrade for your brain.   The MasterMind Matrix (now Version 4.0) is a visual chart that provides you with deep insights into why you do what you do, and how to do things better to improve your life and achieve your goals. It's a guidance system and reference guide we can use to help us make more effective decisions to live life in more optimal ways.   

[Note (TN, Mar. 21, 2022):  This is a fantastic collection of knowledge/wisdom represented visually in informative Mind Maps.  Currently 481 Mind Maps are shown, with steady increase (about 25-30 per year) in number.  All the visual sheets are dedicated for 'Personal development for better life' in a vary wide sense.  Their topic areas are categorized into:  The laws of life, The laws of success, The laws of productivity, Universal principles, The brain and nervous system, and Additional terms and concepts.  Such area are further classified; for example, The laws of success cover each law of Accident, Action, Applied effort, Compensation, Control, Direction, Flexibility, Forced efficiency, Giving, Likability, Opposites, Overcompensation, Persistence, Preparation, Probability, Responsibility, Service, Social validation, Synergy, and Murphy's law. Some Mind Maps of our interest include: Creative thinking, Critical thinking, Creative genius mindset, Law of cause and effect, Motivation strategy, Psychological rules, Steve Jobs, Risk taking, Solving life's problems, Developing charisma, Handling a crisis, Handling conflict, Problem solving model, Total life reinvention, Changing a paradigm, Working through change, Thrive amid chaos, and many others.

Home: Purpose and Goals: Visible Thinking is a flexible and systematic research-based approach to integrating the development of students' thinking with content learning across subject matters. An extensive and adaptable collection of practices, Visible Thinking has a double goal: on the one hand, to cultivate students' thinking skills and dispositions, and, on the other, to deepen content learning. By thinking dispositions, we mean curiosity, concern for truth and understanding, a creative mindset, not just being skilled but also alert to thinking and learning opportunities and eager to take them.    What You Will Find on the Site: This site provides a convenient way to learn about Visible Thinking as well as thorough descriptions of the ideals, routines and activities that we've developed from research in K-12 schools.  The six sections of this site are: Visible Thinking in Action; Getting Started; Thinking Routines; Thinking Ideals; School Wide Culture of Thinking; Additional Resources.

About Us : Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is a catalyst that transforms our community's most valuable potential - our children - and shapes a thriving future.

The Innovate! Inside the Box is a web application that facilitates the use of Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT). SIT is a comprehensive suite of Thinking Tools, Principles, Facilitation, Project Management, and Organizational Innovation programs. The five unique techniques in this app are the core of the SIT method, and were developed through rigorous research, studying thousands of patents and inventive solutions.
Book:   "Inside the Box: A Proven System of Creativity for Breakthrough Results" (by Drew Boyd and Jacob Goldenberg).   Want a truly creative organization? Then think Inside the Box. The traditional view says that creativity is unstructured and doesn't follow rules or patterns. That you need to think "outside the box" to be truly original and innovative. That you should start with a problem and then "brainstorm" ideas without restraint until you find a solution. Inside the Box shows that more innovation— and better and quicker innovation—happens when you work inside your familiar world (yes, inside the box) using a set of templates that channel the creative process in a way that makes us more—not less—creative. These techniques were derived from research that discovered a surprising set of common patterns shared by all inventive solutions. They form the basis for Systematic Inventive Thinking, or SIT, now used by hundreds of corporations throughout the world, including industry leaders such as Johnson & Johnson, GE, Procter & Gamble, SAP, and Philips. Many other books discuss how to make creativity a part of corporate culture, but none of them uses the innovative and unconventional SIT approach described in this book. With "inside the box" thinking, companies and organizations of any size can creatively solve problems before they develop—and innovate on an ongoing, systematic basis. This system really works!

Doing so, we apply the teaching of Danilo Dolci who developed innovative educational nonviolent methods (such as the "strike in reverse" –working without pay- through which individuals initiated unauthorized public works projects, by and for the grass-roots in the '50 in Sicily).
