When going through the creative process to arrive at a solution, I ask people to tell how they arrived at their solution. Or, how they got their idea. In detail. Yes, I’m that curious. Tell me how. I could care less about the “what”, I want to know how you came up with it.
What’s your insight? How did you arrive at it?
And, I also advice them to tell others how they got their idea.
Why do I do this?…
