Maybe God worked in Steps, not Days.
If you were to ask 50,000 inventors and creators how they make stuff and look at all their answers side-by-side, you’d find each step they take is roughly the same [I did this in my second PhD research]. In the end, there are 7 steps common to the way all human beings think when they make, create or produce any kind of stuff. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Fashion Designer or Aerospace Designer, whether you’re Aristotle or a Hollywood screenwriter.
The whole process of creation seems to be built into us, as human beings. For we all follow it automatically, without ever being taught. And of course we don’t get it perfect all the time. Yet thankfully we can consciously learn the pattern, to create even faster and better.
These 7 steps also define how your emotions and spirit MUST progress, to make your creation come alive. Essentially, it’s a Hero’s Journey with very exact tasks. It’s a map we can work with systematically, rather than randomly.
even More amazingly, human beings are not a special case.
This arrangement of questions and answers is one of the fundamental patterns of creation of the cosmos. It exists in big data from Buddhism, Biology, Cosmology, Engineering & Managerial Cybernetics.
So you will forgive me if I call this ‘The Map of All Creation’.
Usually, I put the map together with the Inspiration Cards for a complete coaching system and cultural transformation. These two tools enhance every other creativity tool or thinking system you already use [including TRIZ] and can revolutionize the way you work with creative teams. We’ve used it as a learning game for Design & Technology in Key Stage 3 UK schools, and to define epic quests at the highest levels of technical R&D. It works super-quick if you need it to. Just 90 minutes and you’re done. Or you can spend all weekend getting world-class solutions with your A-team. That’s fun too.
VIDEO MASTERCLASS COMING IF ENOUGH PEOPLE WANT IT
I’ve simplified all my work so it’s simple enough for 7-year-olds to understand.
And I can lead you through the Map in a way you can immediately use it.
It will only take 2 hours in a Masterclass format and I will make it free if enough people want it. Just tell me you want it to happen here !
That said, of course it takes a little practise to make it work in every situation. So if you’re serious about using this [maybe as a professional coach or in a corporate setting] you’ll want to join my 2-day Creativity Catalyst training to become a certified Catalyst while you get immediate actionable, patentable, million dollar ideas for your organisation.
Or if you don’t want to do it on your own, ask me to coach your A-Team. You just need a Billion Dollar Question to get ‘A Billion Dollar Answer’ with me, in two days.
