Founder of Ma Quan Lecture Hall
Lecturer in empirical subjects
I am lucky to be a student of Mr. Chen Xu's first cross-disciplinary innovative thinking certification class. After two days of experience, I have many feelings, which are summarized as follows:
The importance of changing thinking
Teacher Chen Xu played several videos about future life in class, which was very shocking, especially compared with the videos taken five years ago. We must feel that the only constant in this world is change.
Since changes are inevitable, how should we deal with them?
With the advent of the AI era, what will not be replaced by artificial intelligence?
-people's thinking ability.
What kind of thinking can AI never replicate?
-Inspiration and innovative thinking.
As Stephen Covey said, simply changing a person's behavior, the resulting change is only a matter of unpredictable outcome; Changing thinking will bring about leap-forward changes. I firmly believe this, and have always insisted on this concept throughout the course:
? In parents' class, I never put teaching tools and methods first. Parents need to change their way of thinking first. When your perspective on children's problem behavior changes, you will find that many problems are no longer problems.
? In mind mapping class, I will tell you that drawing mind mapping is not the key, but the underlying logic power, information sorting power and creative thinking power. If we only pay attention to how beautifully this tool is painted without changing the way of thinking, then such a good tool is really a pity. Learning in the wrong direction, getting twice the result with half the effort, is only a low level of diligence.
This study and combing made me understand the underlying logic behind this.
To innovate, cross-border is the key.
I have studied mind mapping before, and I have been exposed to innovative content. As Mr. Chen Xu said, most innovative courses in China only stay in the perspective of lateral thinking and brainstorming. In fact, these can be called innovations in the standard sense, just grasping ideas on the basis of existing experience. To innovate in a real sense, we must first break the barriers of thinking and cultivate the habit of perceiving and recording ideas from the subconscious.
Leissner, executive chairman of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said: "Discipline-based science is dead, and most of the major advances at present involve multiple disciplines." Innovation comes from intersection. This changing trend can be reflected only by the course names of college students. For example, there are many combined disciplines in the specialized courses of university studies: economic psychology, material chemistry, applied mathematics and physics, etc.
In the commercial field, you will see many industries being subverted by "cross-border". As soon as the online chat software came out, fewer and fewer people sent text messages; As soon as the voice call function came out, fewer and fewer people called ... so, the current peer experts are not terrible. The most frightening thing is those who find cross-border innovation. It is very likely that they can change the market trend of the whole industry in just a few months.
For this, my idea is:
As an individual, how can we keep curiosity and break the barriers of thinking?
-Make diversified studies, associate with people different from you, often "walk in your head", and write innovative diaries and rambling diaries.
As an organization, how to be invincible in the unpredictable fields of all walks of life?
-It may indeed be an important direction to keep an open attitude and learning attitude towards other industries and explore and practice cross-innovation in all aspects of its own business model.
Deep thinking on business model
At the beginning of the new year, I spent tens of thousands of dollars to do one thing: "upgrade my way of thinking." In half a month's time, I went to other places twice, studied business models and cross-innovative thinking, and communicated with my predecessors, and finally completely opened my mind.
Special thanks to the friends in the 10 group, who brought my case to the sand table in the final business model discussion, and let me see many valuable opportunities.
In my five years of self-exploration, I have run 4 1 parent classes and 4 instructor certification classes-some methods are purely intuitive, and I can't tell why; Some methods are wrong, but I don't know what the problem is; There are other ways, all of which are done in the formal discipline industry. Everyone thinks it is right to be a lecturer, but sometimes the correct answer is not for most people. I have to sigh: if a lecturer can take fewer detours from beginners, it would be great!
I wish my parents can go home happily every day, and I also hope that our lecturers can cultivate their core competitiveness, not only to teach good classes, but also to teach good classes to promote the high-quality growth of more families. This will be the direction of my continuous efforts in the future.
Mr. Chen Xu has experienced many battles in the training ground, and his skills are superb. I learned many highlights of curriculum design from him.
From the change of thinking on the first morning, to the lighting of innovative thinking in the afternoon, and then to the landing of innovative achievements the next day, the logic is clear step by step. Even if you are innovative, you can follow the rhythm of the course and finally produce some ideas and good ideas.
Teacher Chen has a great advantage: she is good at telling stories and giving examples. Even the "old jokes" that have been circulating for a long time on the training ground, such as empty boxes and dream interpretation. There is always a different innovation highlight from his mouth-it is really innovative thinking.
In addition, teaching AIDS and experience activities are designed with grounding gas, cards are used to guide group discussions, sand tables are used to organize the overall framework, and Lego bricks are used to experience market actual combat. These elements make the whole course not boring and thin.
These inspirations inspired me, and I decided to design a set of cards and sand tables for my parents' courses. No matter how good the content is, it should also be accompanied by interesting tools.
