Concept blending (aka "Mash-Ups") is at the heart of innovation, or any kind of truly new and different thinking. Blending very different concepts with each other is a type of forced association that can be a highly effective way to get to breakthrough. That's the good news. The bad news is that they are not intuitive to most people and significant mental scaffolding is required for the average ideator. Come to learn how to do this better. You will:
• Learn what a concept blend is and how to do one.
• Learn how to scaffold the thinking of participants to do more effective concept blends.
• Understand how to facilitate concept blends in different situations.
