Innovative thinking is to change thinking and make quantitative and qualitative changes in new directions and effective aspects. The following are the manifestations of innovative thinking compiled by me. Thank you for reading.

Expression of innovative thinking

The key to innovative thinking lies in how to specifically carry out innovative thinking. The important trick of innovative thinking is to view and deal with things, problems and processes from multiple angles, sides and directions. Specifically manifested in the following aspects:

1. Theoretical thinking. Theory can generally be understood as a system of principles, which is a systematic rational understanding. Theoretical thinking refers to the form of thinking that systematizes rational understanding. This form of thinking has many applications in practice. For example, systems engineering is a management method that uses systems theoretical thinking to deal with various related issues within a system. Qian Xuesen believes that systems engineering is a scientific method for the planning, research and design, innovative testing and use of organizational management systems. For another example, someone proposed the "similarity theory", which is also a category of scientific theoretical thinking. That is, when people saw that a bird had wings and could fly, they invented an airplane based on similar principles such as the bird's wings, the geometric structure of the bird's body, aerodynamics, and flight functions. Some are also called "bionics". There are also many places where theoretical thinking needs to be used in enterprise organization and production. Therefore, theoretical thinking is a basic form of thinking. Therefore, in order to grasp the laws of innovation, we must carefully study the laws of theoretical thinking activities, especially the laws of innovative theoretical thinking.

2 Multi-directional thinking. Multidirectional thinking is also called divergent thinking, radiating thinking or diffusion thinking. It refers to the process of thinking about a certain issue or thing, not sticking to one point or one clue, but expanding the package in as many directions as possible from the only information, without being bound by the established methods, methods, rules and scope and other constraints, and obtain conventional and unconventional thinking of various assumptions from this diffuse thinking. The concept of multidirectional thinking was first proposed by Woodworth in 1918, and was later used by Spearman and Cartier as a "fluency" factor. American psychologist Guilford clearly proposed divergent thinking, that is, multi-directional thinking, in the "Three-Dimensional Model of Intellectual Structure". He believes that divergent thinking is to generate information from given information, and its focus is to produce a variety of numerous outputs from the same source. Its characteristics are: first, "multiple", you can start many times on a problem, generate many associations, and get various conclusions; for example, how to buy a comb to a monk? Second, it is "flexible", you can change a problem according to the objective situation And changes; for example, if the tortoise and the hare lose again in the second time, the reason may be that the direction is in the opposite direction, or there may be a river in front of it

etc. The third is "fineness", which can consider the problem comprehensively and meticulously; the fourth is "novelty", the answers can have individual differences, each is different, and it is novel and impressive. After the 1950s, through research on divergent thinking, it was further proposed that the fluency of divergent thinking refers to the amount of divergence, the flexibility refers to the flexibility of divergence, and the originality refers to the novelty component of divergence. These three dimensions are: Characteristics are an important part of innovative thinking. People's multi-directional thinking ability can be improved through exercise. The key points are: first, when encountering problems, you should boldly open your mind and don't just consider whether it is practical or not, and whether it is feasible or not. This is as a famous scientist said: " The more possibilities you consider, the easier it is to find the real trick. "Secondly, we must strive to improve the quality of multi-directional thinking. One-way divergence can only be said to be a low-level divergence. Third, insisting on the uniqueness of thinking is the prerequisite for improving the quality of multi-directional thinking. Repeating traditional or stereotyped things in your mind will not emanate unique thinking. Only by putting forward as many "what ifs", "what ifs", "what ifs", etc. as possible when thinking, can you think about things that you or others have never thought of from a new perspective.

Three lateral thinking. "Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade." When we cannot solve a problem under certain conditions or we can solve it but only use the solutions we are accustomed to, we can use lateral thinking to produce innovative breakthroughs. There are three specific application methods: 1. Lateral movement.

This refers to jumping out of the scope of this major and industry, getting rid of habitual thinking, looking sideways in other directions, directing attention to broader fields, or directly transplanting mature and better technical methods, principles, etc. from other fields. Use them; or get inspiration from the characteristics, attributes, and mechanisms of things in other fields, leading to innovative ideas about original thinking problems. Lu Ban invented the saw by tearing his fingers from the fine teeth of thatch; Wilson imitated the phenomenon of throwing stones in the fog and designed a cloud device to detect the movement of elementary particles. A large number of examples show that borrowing or being inspired from other fields is a shortcut to innovation and invention. 2 sideways conversion. This refers to not solving the problem directly as originally envisioned or conventionally, but transforming the problem into other side problems, or transforming the means of solving the problem into other side methods, etc. This way of thinking is often used in innovative inventions. For example, during the "Internet boom", a number of Internet companies emerged, but it was the equipment providers, such as Cisco, that made the ultimate profit. 3Move out laterally. Contrary to lateral move-in, lateral move-out refers to getting rid of existing ideas, acquired inventions, existing technologies of interest and products of the factory from the existing fields of use and objects of use, and removing them from their external use areas. Push to other unexpected areas or objects. This is also a way of thinking based on stepping out of the field and overcoming linear thinking. For example, the positioning theory in engineering is used in marketing. In short, whether you are using lateral movement in, lateral switching or lateral movement out, the key trick is to be good at observation, especially paying attention to things and phenomena that seem to have nothing to do with the problem you are thinking about. This requires that while paying attention to the research object, you must also indirectly pay attention to other phenomena that are accidentally seen or unexpected in advance. Perhaps this accident is not accidental, but may be an important object or clue that moves in, out or transforms laterally.

Four reverse thinking. Philosophical research shows that appointed things include two opposite aspects, and these two aspects are interdependent in a unity. In the process of understanding things, people actually deal with both their positive and negative aspects at the same time. However, in daily life, people often develop a habitual way of thinking, that is, they only look at one aspect and ignore the other. . If you reverse the normal thinking and think about the problem from the opposite side, you can come up with some innovative ideas. For example, the "catfish effect" in management requires changing the traditional "dependence on fixed paths." Reverse thinking has the following characteristics: 1. Universality. Reverse thinking is applicable in various fields and activities. Since the law of unity of opposites is universally applicable, and the forms of unity of opposites are diverse, there is a form of unity of opposites, and correspondingly there is a form of unity of opposites. The perspective of reverse thinking, so reverse thinking also has infinite forms. For example, the conversion of opposite poles in nature: soft and hard, high and low, etc.; the exchange and inversion of structure and position: up and down, left and right, etc.; the reversal in process: gaseous state changes to liquid state or liquid state changes to gaseous state, electric rotation Be magnetic or convert magnetism into electricity, etc. No matter which way, as long as you think of one aspect and the opposite aspect, it is reverse thinking and criticality. Reverse refers to comparison with normal, while positive refers to conventional, common sense, recognized or habitual thoughts and practices. Reverse thinking is just the opposite. It is a rebellion against tradition, convention and common sense, and a challenge to convention. It can overcome fixed thinking and break the rigid cognitive patterns caused by experience and habits. 2 Novelty. Although conventional thinking and solving problems in traditional

ways are simple, they tend to make the ideas rigid and rigid, making it impossible to get rid of the shackles of habits, and often the answers you get are commonplace. In fact, everything has many attributes. Due to the influence of past experiences, people tend to see the familiar side and turn a blind eye to the other side. Reverse thinking can overcome this obstacle, which is often unexpected and gives people a refreshing feeling.

Five association thinking. Associative thinking refers to the psychological process of associating one thing with another thing to generate knowledge, that is, thinking of other related things, concepts, or phenomena from the combination of the things, concepts, or phenomena that are perceived or thought about. Phenomenal thought process. Association is a thinking instinct that every normal person has.

For example, when Einstein was studying the theory of relativity, he used some abstract concepts such as "train", "elevator", and "law of gravity". Abstract theories or concepts are often rigid in the thinking process, and their content changes slowly, often failing to adapt to the changing requirements of new problems. At the same time, the operation of concepts in thinking is also bound by logical frames, and intuitive images are more flexible and less conservative than concepts in the thinking process. 2 Innovation. Image is very innovative because it can process appearances, and the processing of various styles is innovation in itself. For example, people can decompose or disrupt the representation, abstract, strengthen the representation, etc. according to their subjective needs or fantasies. Because the image has strong subjective randomness and emotion, it shows rich and colorful innovation. 3 Generalization and fantasy. The thinking activity using images is not a form of perceptual understanding, but a form of rational understanding with the generality of images, which is carried out by perceptual concrete through a series of refinements and image operations. Complementing the generalization is the element of conjecture and fantasy contained in the image. They are a new kind of consciousness activity that is higher than perception and representation. It can better unleash people's enthusiasm for innovative exploration in uncertain situations and help break through the limitations of direct realistic perceptual materials.

A short story about innovative thinking

Poor mule:

Once upon a time, a mule worked in a mill since he was a child, going around the mill day after day. The stone grinds in circles, diligently. One day, it finally became too old to pull the stone mill.

The owner felt that his hard work was a great achievement, so he decided to release it into nature, where he could enjoy freedom and spend the rest of his life among green grass and blue sky. But this mule has never enjoyed such freedom. From the time he can remember, he only knows how to grind. On the vast and endless prairie, after the mule is full, he has nothing to do, so he just keeps grinding around a tree. Going in circles until finally dying under the tree.

Famous aphorisms about innovative thinking

1. In the increasingly crowded living space of mankind, the only thing that can help people get rid of the feeling of crowding is not anything else, but the road to innovation. .

2. In innovative activities, only those who have extensive knowledge, sensitive information, profound theoretical foundation, and rich practical experience can easily achieve greater results in the combination of multi-disciplinary and multi-professional innovation and leaping creative thinking. breakthrough. ——Lang Jiaming "The Secret of Innovation"

3. If you have funds but no knowledge, the harder you work, the higher the possibility of failure. If you have knowledge but no funds, small gains will be rewarded. ——Li Ka-shing

4. One thing is very clear: innovative ideas are not the exclusive domain of those who specialize in developing them. ——Mesweeney, "To the CEOs of the Future"

5. The era of innovation is actually a natural accompaniment of the information age. Although we have mastered new information, there are still weak links. It does not appear in the creation of information, nor in the storage of information, nor even in the acquisition of information, but in the use of new information to do things. on new things. ——Megifford Pinchot No. 3

6. Really busy people have no time to think. ——Seneca, Ancient Rome

7. This kind of innovation represents what society needs: originality, enterprising spirit and creative spirit. ——Anonymous

8. The CEOs of companies who are most successful in identifying innovative ideas are always good at dealing with innovative people and good at listening to their opinions, including opinions that may sound a little weird. ...In order to obtain innovative ideas, as a company president, you must be willing to admit and accept all the unpleasantness caused by innovative ideas. ——Sweeney, American management scientist, "To Future CEOs" page

9. Innovation - the real secret of creating a new world is: Innovation is first of all a kind of quality and quality of the innovator. The execution mechanism consists of the innovator's ideas. It is a complex process in which the quality of the innovator is transformed into the innovator's ideas, and then the innovator's ideas are transformed into the innovator's behavior. ——Lang Jiaming's "The Secret of Innovation"

10. The best definition of innovation is "no limit on size or department."

11. Innovation can be defined from the perspective of demand rather than from the perspective of supply: changing the value and satisfaction that consumers obtain from resources. ——Peter Drucker

12. If you don’t innovate, you die. ——Mei Aikeka
