Creativity works like a marshalling yard, or: how to remove a spider from a wall
Creativity works like a marshalling yard, or: how do I remove a spider from a wall, which is a real emergency for some? By using a drinking glass as a spider transport device. All this is nothing more than a core strategy of creativity.
This shift from a glass into a new context (or you can also say: category) is driven by recognizing similarities and intentionally reimagining their purpose. It's exactly this kind of thinking that allows us to find unexpected solutions in moments of crisis – that’s what makes it such an essential tool when things go wrong.
