<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">> Solutions to issues will be found. They may start as ideas contributed by individuals. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">> Brainstorming is an excellent activity. But they will arise more easily with greater understanding.</span><br>

<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Yes there's a book "Creative Strategy" with 3 steps:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">1. break it down (into problem 'elements')</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">2. search (in other domains/fields/areas-of-practice/toolsets for solution to an element)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">3. combine (some selection of solutions to elements from other domains, into a total solution)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Think of a matrix with problem elements down the side, and domains/sources of solutions across the top:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Problem:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">______d1________d2______d3__________d4</span></p>

<p><font color="#212121" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">e4</span></font></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">then fill in the table by searching.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">The creative part comes in the recombining element solutions at the end.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">I suspect you guys are doing a pretty good job of breaking it into elements. </span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">I apologize as a non-member for not being more active in v4. Not an html or js guru. I could perhaps search other domains for element solutions.</span></p>
