The Power of Eight

While design thinking is a very powerful subject in the world of consumer behavior, when it comes to coming up with creative designs there is a magic number eight. The idea is,  you identify a problem you are trying to solve. Than fold your paper so a there is a total of eight squares. From there you set a timer for a minute a piece and draw a picture that would be a solution to said problem.

I think the largest benefit from this overall process is the individual route each cell can take. It opens the door to the most creative and abstract solutions to a problem and that is why I think it is the largest benefit to the overall process. So next time you find yourself in a stump with a creative way to solve a difficult problem. Give the great eight a try and maybe, just maybe you could come up with that million dollar solution.
