“Thinking-Without-Box” to push entrepreneurial thinking in companies
How can we be much more creative in our thinking and move towards more innovative thinking? Entrepreneurial thinking is lacking in many organizations, companies often encourage staff to “Thinking-Without-Box” as a way to think differently to form new perspectives to solve problems, this phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.
But, in today’s highly digitalized and competitive business environment coupled with post-Covid-19 recovery landscape, thinking creatively is no longer enough. We have to move towards “Thinking-Without-Box” to encourage companies and staff to embrace outrageous ideas generations and develop a culture of entrepreneurial thinking and not just creative thinking. Entrepreneurial thinking is not just for entrepreneurs and is not necessarily an inherent trait, it can be easily developed or improved. It is a mind set that opens our eyes to new learning opportunities and helps one grow in the organization.
Thinking-Without-Box” as a mindset tool pushes our innovative thinking beyond just creative thinking - it encourages us to look much further than the “BOX” we see daily with much greater entrepreneurial perspectives so that we won’t be limited by a small worldview. Research consistently highlighted that companies top work elements are problem-solving, expressing ideas, innovating, conceptualizing, interpersonal and being creative, these are associated with high level of entrepreneurial thinking skills. Staff when exposed to entrepreneurial thinking skills are exposed to limitless possibilities and the possibilities are endless.
