1.Heuristic
Heuristic is an adjective for experience based
techniques that help in problem solving, learning
and discovery.
This method is used to rapidly come to an
solution that is hoped to be close to best possible
answer.
Heuristics stands for strategies using, readily
accessible, though loosely applicable, information
to control problem solving in human beings and
machines.
Although the solution quality may not be the
best, often they work well in generalized
situation.

MBA IV :Entrepreneurship Development

Supreet Juneja Wahee

Slide 43

Focus on your creative energies on just few topic areas that
you genuinely create about and work on these purposeful.
Avoid being too narrow in the way you define your problem or
topic.
Try to come up with original and useful ideas by making novel
associations among what you already know.
Pause and carefully examine ideas that make you laugh the
first time hear them.
Recognize that your streams of thought and patterns of
judgement are inherently right or wrong, they are just what
you think now based on primarily on patterns from your past.

number of possible solutions or ideas.

MBA IV :Entrepreneurship Development

Supreet Juneja Wahee

Slide 45

Characteristics of Brain Storming


This technique is not suitable where the problem
has a unique solution which can be found through
analysis or evaluation.
brain storming can take place only when there is
specific topic.
Brain storming results in generation of numerous
ideas out of which a few ideas are chosen for in
depth investigation.
Brain storming provides ample opportunities to
participants to put forth various suggestions for
solving specific problems.
Brain storming enables participation to freely
share diferent ideas.
MBA IV :Entrepreneurship Development

Supreet Juneja Wahee

Slide 46

Principles Of Brain Storming


During the generation phase of ideas, evaluation
process is deferred.
The second principle is based on quantity begets
quality right environment must be provided for
generating maximum number of ideas.
Brain storming brings forth novel and diferent
ideas. Novels ideas in certain cases may not
appear to be practical ideas.
It is better to appreciate ideas of others as well as
ones own previous ideas.

MBA IV :Entrepreneurship Development

Slide 47

3.Synectics
The term Synectics has its origins from the Greek language
and means the combining of diferent and supposedly irrelevant
elements.
It is a process for structured problem solving
This idea generation technique approaches problem solving and
creativity in a rational manner.
According to Gordon, Synectics research has three main
assumptions:
Thecreative processcan be described and taught;
Invention processes in arts and sciences are analogous and are
driven by the same "psychic" processes;
Individual and group creativity are analogous.
With these assumptions in mind, Synectics believes that people
can be better at being creative if they understand how
creativity works.
MBA IV :Entrepreneurship Development

Supreet Juneja Wahee

Slide 48

Synectics
Synectics is applied in finding innovative practices to a number
of in traceable technical problems. Major analogies under this
technique are
Direct analogy : it involves discussing analogy of the problem
situation from very diferent field. It involves direct comparison
under discussion with some other similar phenomenon.
Personal analogy : under this problem solver is expected to
project himself into situation and report back his experience of
the particular situation like what he feels, sees, hears, thinks etc.
Fantasy analogy : under this concerned person is asked to
release his imagination from real life constraints. Group members
are used to fantasize some perfect solutions even if it is contrary
to known scientific principles.
Symbolic analogy : it requires group members to poetic or
paradoxical phrases for situation. The leader is expected to take
key word or even undertake some decisions and ask the group
members to come up with short proactive phrases that capture
