The best way to use your brain is not only to use it as a one way track. The combination of all senses is essentially to activate as most capacity as possible. The good news are: it is even more fun!

We also learned how to create new business models by combining mega trends with really new technologies. 3D printing for instance, is not a really new technology.. the latest achievements in technology are even more fascinating. Objects which are assembling and adapting themselves are products of a 4D printing technology. Combining this new stuff with e.g. social media and web 3.0 as mega trends let you really think out-of-the-box and you will be surprised about the new ideas popping up.

Another surprising method of visualizing complex situations and to push the level of communication to another level was LEGO Serious Play. As the name suggests we played LEGO, again, and it was great. Try to explain the worst CEO you could imagine, try to build an object which depicts the situation of your company or just the highest tower out of 50 LEGO bricks. The results were incredible accurate and gave real insides into the participants' minds.
