Improvisation: The Expert Game 
• Write a nonsense word on the board 
• Ask volunteers to be an expert on the 
word 
• The word can be “defined” as an 
object, action, field of study, etc.
What is Innovation? 
• Applying a creative 
process to produce 
something useful 
• Surprise in the service of 
health or prosperity

The Route to Normal Science 
• Normal science: shared assumptions, goals, rules, 
standards 
• Shared Paradigms of “normal science” 
1) Create avenues of inquiry 
2) Formulate questions 
3) Select methods within which to examine questions 
4) Define areas of relevance

Anomalies 
• Failures of “normal science” 
• Discovered by observation that nature has violated 
paradigm 
• Conceptually assimilated into existing paradigm, if 
at all possible 
• Sometimes ignored, especially be professional 
scientists who have careers allied with dominant 
paradigm 
Kuhn 
1962
The Resolution of Revolutions 
• New, younger scientific generation 
adopts new paradigm 
• After period of paradigm testing, new one 
is adopted as most explanatory 
• Old paradigm disappears from textbooks 
so normal science forgets its revolutionary 
roots. 
• Science as natural selection 
• New paradigms are neater, simpler, more 
elegant 
• Have greater explanatory and predictive 
power – better fit with nature. Kuhn 
1962
Discussion 
• Do you have classes 
in thinking? 
• Do you have a class 
in a method for 
innovative thinking?
Can Innovation be Taught? 
• Many believe that innovation is 
temperamental and immutable 
• De Bono: “thinking is a skill… no 
different from any other skill and 
we can get better at the skill of 
thinking if we have the will to do 
so.” 
• Schools teach content 
information 
• Innovative thinking is the method, 
not the content

Does It Work? 
Clapham et al: Meta-analysis of 40 studies 
Scott et al: Meta-analysis of 70 studies 
• 2 – 3X increases in fluency, novelty, and originality 
• Improvements in problem-solving, attitude and work 
performance
Does It Work? 
• Structured programs demonstrated 
effects independent of: 
• Age 
• Gender 
• Intellectual capacity 
• Professional/academic setting
Scott, Leritz & Mumford (2004) 
Elements of a Successful Curriculum 
1. Training should be lengthy and relatively 
challenging . 
2. Articulation of these principles should be 
followed by illustrations of their 
application using material based on 
“real-world” cases. 
3. Presentation of this material should be 
followed by a series of exercises, 
appropriate to the domain at hand.
Frames
20 Questions! 
1. One person picks an object to describe 
(that person answers the questions) 
2. Players ask only “yes” or “no” questions 
3. After hearing the answer to the question, 
the asker has a chance to guess the 
object. 
4. The group as a total can only ask up to 20 
questions. 
5. The player who guesses correctly gets to 
think of the next object.

What is a Cognitive Frame? 
• Your normal, habitual way of thinking 
• Based on 
• Past experiences 
• Patterns of assumptions 
• Expectations that influence how you interpret information. 
• Frames guide human thinking and communication.

Characteristics of Frames 
• Frames are ubiquitous and powerful 
• Most of the social context for interactions are frames 
• Standing in lines, taking turns to talk, traffic laws 
• Frames are not permanent 
• They can change over time and with context 
• Frames arouse strong emotions 
• Out-of-frame ideas can elicit a negative or positive 
reaction (ie. Jokes)

Frames are Ubiquitous 
At a restaurant, you expect… What if instead… 
1. You order a salad from the server 
2. S/he brings your salad 
3. You ask for more salad dressing 
4. S/he politely brings more 
5. You pay the bill and leave a tip 
1. You order your meal from the 
server 
2. S/he brings your salad 
3. You ask for more salad dressing 
4. Your server scowls and tells you to 
get it yourself! 
Is this what you expect at any restaurant? Would that action confuse you?
Frames are not Permanent 
• When would you not expect your server to bring 
your salad? 
• At a restaurant with an open salad bar. 
• When would you not expect the restaurant to 
serve food? 
• If it were a bar 
• When would you expect to get paid for eating at 
a restaurant? 
• If you were a Secret Shopper for the franchise. 
• When would you not expect to leave your 
server a tip? 
• At a banquet or reception
Frame Arouse Strong 
Emotions 
• How do you feel about the idea of removing 
all traffic signs and signals from corners and 
intersections?

Emotions 
• Several European cities are trying this as a 
strategy to force drivers to focus on their 
immediate surroundings rather than on external 
cues. 
• Do you think this will make streets safer?
Break the Norm 
• How would you react if someone started 
singing opera in the library? 
• How would you react if someone showed up 
to a holiday party dressed as the Grim 
Reaper? 
• Would you feel safe if your bus driver were a 
16 year old? 
• What about these scenarios would appear 
odd to you?
Paradigm Shift 
• Frame shifting can be a useful tool 
for reorganizing and rearranging 
ideas to: 
• Help increase the number of ideas 
• Maximize generation of innovative 
concepts

Frame Shifting 
1: Frame- Viewed as the emergence from a source, like the birth 
of a child from it’s mother 
2: Consequences- Ideas are nurtured and defended like children. 
Scientists defend their reasoning even when it does not fully 
explain all observations. 
3: Alternate frame- Ideas should be spawned, then left to fend for 
themselves. 
4: Consequences of alternative frame- Generate novel concepts, 
but let others try to defend or refute them. However, if we 
don’t defend them, perhaps no one else will.

Think Outside the Parameters 
• During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the 
Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should 
be institutionalized. 
• "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer 
a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask 
the patient to empty the bathtub."

What’s a metaphor? 
“The 
essence 
of 
metaphor 
is 
understanding 
and 
experiencing 
one 
kind 
of 
thing 
in 
terms 
of 
another.” 
–George 
Lakoff 
and 
Mark 
Johnson

If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. Improvisation: The Expert Game • Write a nonsense word on the board • Ask volunteers to be an expert on the word • The word can be “defined” as an object, action, field of study, etc.
  • 5. What is Innovation? • Applying a creative process to produce something useful • Surprise in the service of health or prosperity
  • 6. The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. Threats to Mankind Require Innovation • Cancer • Alzheimer’s disease • Global warming • Scarcity of potable water

If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. The Route to Normal Science • Normal science: shared assumptions, goals, rules, standards • Shared Paradigms of “normal science” 1) Create avenues of inquiry 2) Formulate questions 3) Select methods within which to examine questions 4) Define areas of relevance Kuhn 1962
  • 8. The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. Anomalies • Failures of “normal science” • Discovered by observation that nature has violated paradigm • Conceptually assimilated into existing paradigm, if at all possible • Sometimes ignored, especially be professional scientists who have careers allied with dominant paradigm Kuhn 1962
  • 9. The Resolution of Revolutions • New, younger scientific generation adopts new paradigm • After period of paradigm testing, new one is adopted as most explanatory • Old paradigm disappears from textbooks so normal science forgets its revolutionary roots. • Science as natural selection • New paradigms are neater, simpler, more elegant • Have greater explanatory and predictive power – better fit with nature. Kuhn 1962
  • 10. Discussion • Do you have classes in thinking? • Do you have a class in a method for innovative thinking?
  • 11. Can Innovation be Taught? • Many believe that innovation is temperamental and immutable • De Bono: “thinking is a skill… no different from any other skill and we can get better at the skill of thinking if we have the will to do so.” • Schools teach content information • Innovative thinking is the method, not the content
  • 12. The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. Does It Work? Clapham et al: Meta-analysis of 40 studies Scott et al: Meta-analysis of 70 studies • 2 – 3X increases in fluency, novelty, and originality • Improvements in problem-solving, attitude and work performance
  • 13. Does It Work? • Structured programs demonstrated effects independent of: • Age • Gender • Intellectual capacity • Professional/academic setting
  • 14. Scott, Leritz & Mumford (2004) Elements of a Successful Curriculum 1. Training should be lengthy and relatively challenging . 2. Articulation of these principles should be followed by illustrations of their application using material based on “real-world” cases. 3. Presentation of this material should be followed by a series of exercises, appropriate to the domain at hand.
  • 16. 20 Questions! 1. One person picks an object to describe (that person answers the questions) 2. Players ask only “yes” or “no” questions 3. After hearing the answer to the question, the asker has a chance to guess the object. 4. The group as a total can only ask up to 20 questions. 5. The player who guesses correctly gets to think of the next object.
  • 17. The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again.

Scientists defend their reasoning even when it does not fully explain all observations. 3: Alternate frame- Ideas should be spawned, then left to fend for themselves. 4: Consequences of alternative frame- Generate novel concepts, but let others try to defend or refute them. However, if we don’t defend them, perhaps no one else will.
