Ok it’s time for another of #SamsStickies
How do you persuade people that what you’re doing “doesn’t have to be useful” and that it’s ok to throw things away?pic.twitter.com/zrw6indsXh

I hate recommending de Bono but honestly his book "lateral thinking" is pretty good for making the case for this
But I guess the TLDR is that by separating idea generation from judgement and then pruning down later, we get much higher quality results than if we try to get it right first time, because it allows us to explore the problem space better

I'm interested in that logical reasoning (which seems perfectly reasonable to me) - is it understood in the organisation you work in? And if not how to you persuade people?

Uh I'm a mix self employed and a one man research team academic so it's usually easy to persuade all one of me! Outside of work contexts I've generally found most people are individually persuadable on this but culture can make it scary though. People don't want to look stupid.
