The facilitator from hell.

The Department of Really Stupid Ideas: 'Most people think they just appear out of thin air! But the truth is, there's a great deal of very hard work involved!'

'It's getting a bit stale, Jack. You need to think outside the box.'

'The good news is that all the teachers liked the weekend brainstorming retreat. The bad news is that twelve of them are out today with splitting headaches.'

Thinking Gears

"Good" "Bad" "Work on it" "Keep working - maybe it's not as bad as you think it is" "Put it to a committee" "Give up" "Make it worse" "Make it better" "Still a bad idea" "Overthink it" "Throw yourself into a pit of wild badgers" "Throw it away" "Call it done" "Sigh."

' A good idea '

Creative department

Worry tank

"Ideas that jump from noggin when head not yet screwed on."

"I think it's about time you started thinking outside of the box Harold."

Innovative

Blue sky thinking

'Ideas.com' desk with a 'come' tray and a 'gone' tray.

"I believe I can create a great presentation if I can only tap into my cognitive dissonance."
