The wonders of Post-Its!

Post-its are great innovation tools- used most widely in Brainstorming sessions, the following are examples of how the uses may be extended.

Tara Bisset, my dear Canadian friend (who came to Singapore on my Birthday-25 Feb 08) modelled for department's webpage on Why Study Creativity- http://www.buffalostate.edu/creativity/whycreativity.xml

A proud 'client' I facilitated in Central Park, New York on 13 July 08 was led through self-inquiry with a convergent tool- Card Sort. 

She had to decide if she were to stay on in Manhattan to work in real estate or focuss on completing grad school or to go into her pasion as a full time dancer or to run her own business, or joining the Peace Corps for as an entreprenurial idea for helping people in different countries, or to go to Virginia to dance for a modern dance company, or moving back home to Buffalo.  Quite a lot of difficult options indeed. Yet, the use of Card Sort as an evaluative tool worked wonders! For a well 'facilitated' session, it earned me a good US$50 to take bus back to Buffalo. :)





Or my overnight Brainstorming session in the Bath at 3am that helped reworked my Vision paper the next morning- a comical scene of freaking my Italian friend Luciano at 6 in the morning when he saw how i conquered the bathroom.





Or simply a no-frills yet massive Artwork with delightful touches up close and and personal. An art exhibit in Cathay (Nov 08)
