The Five Lenses are five equally important diverse perspectives focussed on problem solving and ideas generation for a multifarious perspective.  The lenses are derived from architectural and design thinking, the theory of multiple intelligences, Lean and disruptive thinking.  The lenses address neuroplasticity, specifically that the brain defaults to its expert neural pathways unless provoked otherwise.

Each Lens provokes a distinct and extreme point of view in a simple, comprehensible framework.  Used as a set the Lenses pluralize an existing product, system or environment to reveal its multiple meanings, and work as tools to push individuals and teams outside their "expert" neural pathways for more diverse ideas and solutions.   Each Lens can be used to diffuse and proliferate thinking at ideation stages, and to focus thinking where convergence is needed.  

The Five Lenses enable groups and individuals to prolifically and quickly uncover options that can improve everyday processes as well as one- off issues.  

The Five Lenses for ADVENTUROUS THINKING ARE:

Negative Space Thinking

1. Negative Space 

Negative Space is what is NOT.  Negative Space is that physical, emotional and longitudinal amorphousness that is NOT the focus or the subject, but the physical, durational and perceptional context in which it exists.

Parkour Innovation strategy

5.  Parkour

Parkour thinking is the most risk-positive thinking strategy .  When successful it results in an improbable innovation leap.  Otherwise  it sheds new understanding and meaning on wicked problems and every day scenarios.  Parkour does NOT require a problem: this disruptive thinking is best applied to products, issues and scenarios that are "just fine".

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.....
...looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope is what I do”

DR SEUSS

Essential to practicing the Five Ways is an openness to discover, new challenges, and failure.  We need to be prolific and abundant in our ideas, and that means practising Small Daily Failure.
