Systematic Inventive Thinking

Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT) is a structured approach to generating creative ideas by intentionally changing existing products or processes. It relies on understanding the core functions and then applying specific patterns of thinking—such as simplifying, combining, or dividing components—to develop innovative solutions. SIT encourages thinking within boundaries, which helps focus creativity and make the process more efficient. Essentially, it guides teams to invent or improve with a methodical, repeatable process, leading to practical and novel outcomes without relying on random brainstorming.
