The more hats you can wear, the better the perspective. The other beauty is, it helps you also identify what you know, don’t know, and need to know next.

The thinking techniques can help round out your skills, but another approach is teaming up. There are some things that I just defer to other people. When that's the case, I do my best to whittle the problem down into a very precise question that's easy to share with others and get feedback on. There's an art to that, and I'll post on that another day. @ Zilba It sounds interesting. I think in this case, thinking "guides" means thought scaffolding. @ Steve

Thank you. The thinking techniques can help round out your skills, but another approach is teaming up. There are some things that I just defer to other people. When that’s the case, I do my best to whittle the problem down into a very precise question that’s easy to share with others and get feedback on. There’s an art to that, and I’ll post on that another day.

@ Zilba

It sounds interesting. I think in this case, thinking “guides” means thought scaffolding.

It has diagramming templates for roughly 25 different thinking techniques (like the 3 presented by JD), and it also allows you to create your own. This is well worth checking out. http://www.exploratree.org.uk/ All,

This is super stuff. Very helpful. The process of thinking has always been non-linear for me (and it shows) -- really, thanks for this. You're the epitome of what I consider real and authentic folks actively on social media - you share useful, unique, and content -- with specificity - to help others. Best Steve J.D.

This is super stuff. Very helpful. The process of thinking has always been non-linear for me (and it shows) — really, thanks for this. You’re the epitome of what I consider real and authentic folks actively on social media – you share useful, unique, and content — with specificity – to help others.
