Exciting challenges help stretch
disruptive thinking capabilities and
breakthrough soft skills, facilitate challenge-based learning
and entrepreneurial creativity.
Defining a challenge in conventional ways
tends to lead to conventional solutions. Asking outside-the-box
questions can help teams generate original ideas and come up with
innovative designs.

Innompic Games is a creative challenge competition. It is a
creation show composed of a set of both team-based and
individial constructive competition contests open to
entrepreneurial innovators from all over the world who will
compete in the development and the presentation of creative
solutions to exciting challenges assigned by event leaders.

The task is to develop and present attfully a creative solution
for a challenge assigned by organisers in the follofing
categories:
***
Challenges as a growth booster
> stretch
> energize
> creativity under the gun
Addressing a Challenge as Fun Exercise

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 of Loving Creators.

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?
