Public Talk: Sourcing of Ideas & Problem Solving



NBIC hosted a Public Talk on 13 March evening on how to source ideas to solve problems. Mr Nico Steyn from Cape Town shared more insight on the subject. He gave us a list of top thinkers and problem solvers such us Leonardo daVinci, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Wall Disney, and Kauro Ishikawa. DaVinci, for example, lived before enternet was introduced but he managed to carry out scientific researches without any technological advantage.

One of the interesting points he raised was that 90% of our thinking is based on perception and it makes us not to understand the real causes of the problem. To overcome this, we should regard problems as a tree with roots, which can therefore be only removed by getting rid of the roots.
