Reverse Brainstorming
Reverse Brainstorming is a creative problem-solving technique that inverts the problem before solving it. Instead of asking "How do we solve X?", you ask "How do we cause X?" or "How do we make X worse?" The reversed answers are then flipped to generate solutions. This approach bypasses cognitive blocks, generates more creative responses, and is particularly effective for problems where direct brainstorming produces obvious or uninspired answers.
