Challenges as Opportunities To Get
Stronger
Challenges
bring about opportunities to get
stronger. Huge challenges inspire
creative transformations. The Mother
Nature gives us millions of examples to
learn from. For instance, a peace of
coal under huge pressure turns to a
diamond.
Creative challenges inspire
creativity,
innopreneurial thinking and action. |

(IG)

‘brother’ on Olympic Games, a
constructive competition among
innovators and a joyful creation show.
Corporate
Innompic Games are conducted to boost
entrepreneurial creativity, intellectual
teamwork and innovativeness of
employees. |

Challenge-based Accelerated Learning
Innompic Games are also a great accelerated learning
platform. According to the Innompic 20-60-20
approach to accelerated learning, participants
acquire 20% of new knowledge through academic
studies, 60% ‒ while addressing creative challenges
put up by the organizers, and the remaining 20% ‒
while watching performances of other teams.
The only way to grow is to stretch yourself. The
most challenging tasks and experiences are the most
educational. Innompic Games vault contestants to a
much higher level of innopreneurship. Creative
challenges help contestants rise quickly to become
much more than what they usually are. Exciting
creative challenges formulated by IG leaders inspire
contestants to stretch their entrepreneurial
creativity and showcase it in an artful way.
All-Win Games
There are no losers in Innompic Games – everyone
wins because it is primarily an accelerated learning
platform. Innompic Games aim to unlock the potential
of people and encourage them towards innovation and
creative collaboration.

Challenges can create a movement
Challenges are able to do something that other
campaings are not able to accomplish in such a short
period. Challenges excite and turn people to
inspired partners.
Example: Innompic Planet of Loving Creators.
Challenges stretching capabilities of contestants
create the Innompic All-Win culture of United
Innovators and the atmosphere of the Innompic Planet

The Creative Challenge Technique
The creative challenge technique helps you to
discover problems you don’t even know exist by
helping you question the world around you. You
uncover hidden problems by actively asking ‘why are
things the way they are?’ Newly discovered problems
can be used as seeds for possible solutions, or in
the case of a business, a new and exciting product
or service.
The Creative Challenge was originally developed by
Dr. Edward de Bono, however I’ve rearranged,
combined and reworded things a bit and come up with
a three-step process that I feel is a bit cleaner.
The steps
The steps to utilizing the Creative Challenge are as
follows:
1. Pick an existing solution and analyze it: Focus
on an object or existing solution of interest and
simply ask ‘why does this exist?’ There are so many
things around us that we just take for granted, but
every man-made creation is there for a reason.
As an example, take something as routine as a
picture frame. If you ask ‘why do we have a picture
frame?’ you may arrive at something like, ‘so the
edges are protected and won’t curl up’.
2. Determine what problem is being solved: Reverse
the question to part 1 to discover the problem the
existing solution solves
Picture frame example: To discover the hidden
problem, simply reverse the answer: “The edges of
pictures will get damaged and curl up if hung
directly on the wall.’
3. Develop solutions: Determine an alternate way of
solving the discovered problem.
Think out of the box, ask 'What If?' questions to
invent a creative solution - consciously of
subconaciously - and spend some more time refining
them.

Fast Communication Tool
Existing idea A: White board
Why 1.
Why do we use the white board?
- To communicate visually.
Why 2.
Why do we want to communicate visually?
- Because visual information is digested faster.
What I?
What if we use metaphoric tool to communicate ideas
as metaphors are digested
--
Invention Tool
---
Why 1.
Why TRIZ inventive thinking technique is used by
many large firms?
- Because it helps address engineering challenges
inventively.
Why 2.
Why TRIZ is not used by non-professionals?
- Because it is too difficult to learn and is too
narrowly focused on engineering tasks only.
What If?
- What if we use an easy-to-master universal set of
metaphoric inventive thinking tools that would allow
people to address all types of tasks and challenges
in both life and business?
