Thinking out of the box. It’s one of the most cited strategies for thinking innovatively. Corporate philosopher and Luc de Brabandere pondered exactly what was happening in our minds when we engaged in such activity, and here shares his own fresh perspective on this strategy. He argues that the most incredible ideas don’t come from just thinking beyond the perimeter of our current perception…but from relocating our minds to an entirely different box, where preconceived ideas don’t limit imagination. TED@BCG was a TED-curated event featuring a diverse group of speakers from across the BCG community. Jointly produced by TED and BCG, the event put a spotlight on ideas, projects and insights that will contribute to the pursuit of growing ever onward and upward.
