"Red thread thinking" by Debra Kaye

From Fast Company by Debra Kaye | February 28, 2013

Have you heard about Red Thread Thinking and the book by the same title by Debra Kaye? It is about weaving together weaving "connections for brilliant ideas and profitable innovations"

Debra says that office brainstorming in offices will not produce significant if any innovations/brilliant ideas.  Thus brainstorming sessions in offices will not work.  The brain will not work in stressful rigid office environment.

Many brilliant ideas come up in work/experiential situations where problems are encountered (thus the problem solution oriented exercises (NU 12), given once a week or at the pace of the student are likely to be more successful as they encounter "what pisses you off".  Many swear by the improvement of their mindset because of NU 12 weekly submission)

Thus Dropps, a sort of single dose/measure of laundry detergent that does away with messy measurement and waste was not a result of creative right brain thinking but a pragmatic solution to a common laundry problem.  Not reached by brilliance of right brain or lateral thinking or brainstorming
