According to Gerald Haman, founder of Creative Solutions Network, you need to set the right mood before you can get the right stuff. Here's a sampling from his creativity flight check. How you think depends on where you sit. That's why visitors to the Thinkubator have to take off their shoes and don tube socks. Haman has even been known to slice the necktie off an uptight client.
Open minds require full stomachs.
Good ideas require smart tools. On-site, the Thinkubator uses lots of digital tools. After clients return home, they can access the ideas that they generated by visiting a secure area of the Thinkubator Web site. Music stimulates the idle mind. Before he became a creativity guru, Haman was a concert producer for such bands as Manhattan Transfer and Air Supply.
