Brainstorming Buffs Prints

Think outside the box!

'Somebody in here order a light bulb?'

"Caption contest"

"D'you mind if I bounce something off you JB?"

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!'

"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."

Thinking Gears

' A good idea '

Light Bulb Moment

'Smith, we need more creativity. You have to learn to think outside the box.'

What can I do? He says it's his thinking cap.

"Dammit, Johnson. You've got to start thinking outside of the box."

Empty box of ideas

Bright idea

Creative department

Worry tank

Blue sky thinking

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

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

Innovative

'Hey! What's the big idea!?!'

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

Work colleague says 'This is great, where do you get your ideas from?' as man gets them from small elves living in the wall

Brainstorm in progress.

Elevator Pitch

You are much more likely to think outside the box if it is broken.

' A new idea '

"Looks like our days at the think tank are numbered."

"Do you mind if I bounce something off you?"

On-the-job creativity may go unrewarded an may even create consternation among co-workers.

Genius

'I want to see more blue sky thinking.'

No, no, Grok, we love your creative voice! Ort is just here to do a little punch-up.

He's our ideas man. I can never tell if he's working or not.

Unsuccessful board meeting.
