In my list of blog topics was a point taken from a lecture I heard the Danish professor of educational psychology at Aalborg University Lene Tanggaard give in the fall of 2010 - it merely said:
Be creative - it works!- to cut a long story short: let the creative ideas loose when they emerge; have them written down to an extent so that they can be reconstructed as needed, and then leave them to mature and have a critical look at them later.
As it has been said so often: if there is just one good idea that turns into something, then it has been worth it - but it begins when you give yourself the permission to get the good ideas; and the easiest way to do this is to allow yourself to have a lot of ideas and hold on to them. Then, you can always later find out which ideas that are indeed good, and try to use these as the basis for innovation.
