Use both brains
“Jud” Judgment:
• Logical & linear in their thinking• Ideas are driven through facts
and figures• Only one “right” answer• Don’t JUMP, THINK!
“Gen” Generator:
• Visual in their thinking• Ideas are developed via
unrelated connections • Almost always more than
one “right” answer• Don’t THINK, JUMP!
