Its great to see you poking around these parts. Please come by more often! I like the Crystal Garden Creativity method too. Problem is that I tend to supersaturate, grow my crystal, but then mourn the loss of every lopped off weaker connection.

Defining purpose and principles 2. Outcome visioning 3. Brainstorming 4. Organizing 5. Identifying next actions And then there is always my 'Crystal Garden Creativity' model to throw in the mix for something very left field. 1. Create a supersaturated solution 2. Dip a single crystal in 3. Allow to crystallize for a period of time 4. Harvest the crystal / cut the weaker connections Cheers, Jasina Hey JD,

1. Defining purpose and principles
2. Outcome visioning
3. Brainstorming
4. Organizing
5. Identifying next actions

And then there is always my ‘Crystal Garden Creativity’ model to throw in the mix for something very left field.

1. Create a supersaturated solution
2. Dip a single crystal in
3. Allow to crystallize for a period of time
4. Harvest the crystal / cut the weaker connections
