Matchstick problem
• The following slides will show 20 solutions to this matchstick problem
• The only rule: Make a correct statement by moving only 1 match!
• This is an exercise from our Creativity & Innovation Awareness seminar

STOP: First try yourself!
• It is always easier to take a quick peek on what others already have done
• Remember that innovation is a continuous process, not a one-time goal or a single destination
• The more you do it the better you get at it.• Do not worry about failing; if you fail that
means you are learning (FAIL is actually the acronym for: First Attempt In Learning)

Additional info• During our Creativity & Innovation Awareness seminar
most people can create 3 to 5 solutions. This because they are stuck in their own pattern thinking and adhere to assumptions and rules they impose upon themselves without any reason
• Creativity is all about eliminating your own pattern thinking and self-imposed restrictions. But it is also about realizing knowledge gaps you have as: “you do not know what you do not know!”
• There are even more solutions!

Additional info• If you really have been paying attention to the provided
solutions you probably have recognized that there is a systematic structure behind the created solutions.
• Have you been able to recognize it?
• Generating new, more & better ideas for your business development efforts requires the same systematic approach
• One of BOOI Innovations' services is to support you in this specific area of idea creation
