Bears and Honey: Unlock Your Creative Thinking
Discover the Power of Creative Problem Solving
Transform challenges into opportunities with our Bears and Honey approach.
Why Bears and Honey?
When Pacific Power & Light faced frozen power lines snapping in winter, they didn’t just look for a quick fix—they embraced creativity. By encouraging bold ideas and eliminating the “fire hosing” of new concepts, they uncovered an innovative solution that worked for years.
The Principle: NO FIRE HOSING!
Stop shutting down ideas before they grow. Instead of saying “No, that won’t work,” ask: “Yes, and how do we make that happen?” This mindset unlocks innovation and collaboration.
How it works:
- Start Big – Imagine unlimited resources. Explore wild ideas without limits.
- Go Further – Encourage creativity, even if it feels unrealistic.
- Refine & Apply – Use tools like the Cost-Value Matrix to turn big ideas into practical solutions.
