Conclusion
Most people react to a new idea by either liking or disliking it. They then use their intelligence to defend their decision because of their need to be right. The Good Bad Interesting exercise forces creative thinking to generate multiple perspectives on an idea. It shows that ideas can be seen as good, as bad or as interesting, depending on the particular frame of mind you are coming from. Any idea can be looked at in a different way by reframing it. The idea changes in the mind of a person depending on how they are looking at it. This is important to remember in all negotiations between people with opposing viewpoints. The GBI creative thinking exercise enables you to understand other people much better. It will make you a more flexible thinker. This exercise will also shape your mindset to possibly suggest any appropriate technology to suit different viewpoints.
