Of all the brilliant constructs that Iain and Jason have provided which have stuck in our work with Creative Inquiry at Lehigh University, the one that we continually return to is, "if you are a bird, where is flight?"
We pull that one out with new teams of students eager to make an impact in the world...and in less than a minute, they have all undergone a radical paradigm shift and they are ready to truly unlock their creative energy.
Just one very small example of how accessible yet profound their approach can be, and how useful it has been to our pedagogy and praxis.
I've read a lot of Iain and Jason's writings about their Innovation Framework (so much of their book is so good, bits of radical insight every time I open it:), but nothing beats experiencing it in a workshop, which is something I'd wanted to do for a while and finally got to do last month.
As others have mentioned, in surprisingly little time, I had the profound experience of inventing something I could have never imagined.
I have never been able to imagine how one might do anything other than the "I think therefore I am" approach, so this was the most surprising and valuable takeaway for me.
As a math learner and educator for many years, I've always valued the experience over the output, and now I have new ways of talking about it and making it happen.
