reverse brainstorming

Reverse brainstorming is a creative problem-solving technique where instead of asking how to fix a problem, you ask how to cause or worsen it. By exploring this opposite perspective, you uncover potential causes and vulnerabilities. Once identified, these insights can be used to develop strategies to prevent or address the actual problem more effectively. It encourages thinking outside the usual approach, fostering new ideas and solutions by challenging assumptions and uncovering hidden issues through a different lens.
