ABSTRACT
The divergent part of Visioning is about quantity more than quality. The process of Visioning may seem both daunting and mysterious. An understanding of what’s entailed in a structured Visioning process will create better results for Visioning to be successful. The purpose of Analogies for Inspiration is to generate fresh ideas by looking at our entrepreneurial idea through different lenses. The mechanic of Flame Throwing comes from scriptwriting. Young writers are told to always bring a notebook when they get feedback on a story. Then, right after receiving a comment that triggers a defense response, the writer should break eye contact, lower his or her head and write the comment in the notebook. Forecasting is predicting what will happen, whereas Visioning is ultimately about making it happen. Visioning brings the backgrounds, attitudes, emotions and dynamics of the creative team and of each individual team member involved to the equation.
