Morphological analysis is a similar technique. A simple method of carrying out such analysis is to do the following: 1. list the parameters of the situation; 2. sub-divide each into its smallest parts; 3. represent these parts in a matrix; 4. examine all possible combinations of these parts.
A simple way to represent each component is to draw a three-dimensional cube and divide it into many smaller cubes. Along the edges of the cube, write one component in each square. Each small cube can represent a combination of six different components. Try it using the following simple example (or your own). List the various options for motivating people at work. Along one side, list the different behaviours that can be rewarded, one per square. Then list how they can be rewarded and then how often they can be rewarded. You will see how the forced combination suggests ideas you may not otherwise have imagined.
The best idea-generation technique to use is often determined by the type of problem and what you are trying to achieve. In situations where you have a choice, practice will tell you which techniques will work best for you. With practice, these techniques will become less mechanical and time-consuming.
