Episode description

In this "HBR Minute" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover explores the recent HBR video, "The Explainer: Solving Problems by Starting with the Worst Idea Possible." See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/XOA6s6YCKnQ.

Video Overview: "Sometimes wrong thinking can lead to the right answer. There are many creative tools a designer uses to think differently, but none is more counter-intuitive than “wrong thinking,” also called reverse thinking. Wrong thinking is when you intentionally think of the worst idea possible — the exact opposite of the accepted or logical solution, ideas that can get you laughed at or even fired — and work back from those to find new ways of solving old problems."
