Analyzing Assumptions

Success in innovation is determined by what we decide not to assume and our ability to temporarily assume. Deciding to momentarily not believe what we know or assume to be true and temporarily believing something is true that we are unsure of or have no proof of as yet. Extending beyond dictionary word meanings into connotations.
Stretching theory and conjecture to applications totally unrelated on the surface.
Divergent boundaries toward convergent new ideas.
New dimensions to old problems and new problems with traditionally accepted principles.
Not just thinking outside of the box but redefining the box as another shape altogether and then stepping outside of and through that new region to discover new purposes and novel design.
