Answer 1

In case of the Ingenuity Process, there will be a need to having a well structured and clear focus on the definition of the problem, finding out the number of solutions and identifying the most prominent solution which can be used to overcome the issue. In practical, in order to cut short the process of finish the activity in a shorter period of time, these vital activities are commonly ignored by the individuals and organizations. A very rigorous framework will be provided by the ingenuity process in order to make sure that the designers consider the correct problem or root cause and the generation of wide and diverse ranges of potential solutions is facilitated and thus having the optimal solution.

Designers come up with the new concepts and solutions of various issues by utilizing their creativity. This creativity is generated from a long trial and error process. They try they fail and they succeed. For this, it is very important for the designers to come out of their comfort zone.

The leaders play a very important role on this process as they not only help in finding to the solution, guiding the team but they also implement the process in the organization by extending and showing their support. The leaders have the responsibility of leading from the front and it is done by adopting the newly found solution first of all as others will also copy them.
