# What are Thinklets
Thinklets can be viewed as mental triggers to help lead the mind down different, creative pathways for developing new thoughts ideas and solutions. In a sense, these thinklets catalyze your thinking in much the same way that a consultant or expert facilitator would, by asking thought-provoking questions that are designed to stimulate thinking.

Full Spectrum Innovation As the fields of efficiency and quality have been systemized … Full Spectrum Innovation now systemizes the field of innovation. A handbook for Managing Change through Innovative Thinking.
Facilitated Thinking Technology “It’s a really big idea … one the world needs.” Alexander Linden, VP Emerging Technology, Gartner What if there was a way to amplify your creativity, problem solving, systems thinking and all your thinking abilities anytime you choose? What if your thinking could be facilitated from the wisdom of the world’s best consultants, educators, and coaches … on-demand? There is a way … it’s called Facilitated Thinking Technology TM. Why read this handbook? This handbook was created to help you become a better thinker in the following ways: 1. The handbook itself provides a practical approach to mastering change through improved innovative thinking capabilities. 2. The links in the handbook provide additional information and cognitive tools, called thinklets, to improve your thinking skills. 3. The handbook puts theory into practice with Facilitated Thinking Environments TM (FTE) applications that enable creation of more and better innovative ideas … on-demand. Premise for developing Facilitated Thinking TechnologyTM. Around the year 2000, a stunning convergence of information and communication technologies introduced an era of exponential change and brought about a true revolution in how people work. To successfully compete in this era of hyper-change requires that we not only learn to master change, but thrive on it. Clearly, society must now develop a change-adept thinking workforce … But How? The answer, given here in four parts, describes how knowledge workers “Think” their way through change rather than relying on training to “Learn” their way through change. Part 1: PROBLEM - Exponential Change Change is starting to happen so fast that many, if not most, of us are having a hard time coping with it. We are witnessing that long standing practices and ways of doing business are crumbling in the wake of world-wide change. Yet … many individuals and organizations believe that change remains manageably slow … and that predictability and repeatability are the foundations of success. Part 2: NEED – Mastering Change The bottom line: As change accelerates … so does the need for innovation and innovative thinking. To flourish in an age of massive change requires perpetual innovation. Some supporting quotes:
Part 3: SOLUTION - Facilitated Thinking Technology Business visionary Peter Drucker in 1999 said: “One of the biggest management challenges of the 21st century will be to increase knowledge worker “innovative” thinking productivity fifty-fold, the same as manual worker labor productivity increased in the 20th century, so far it has been abysmally low.” Facilitated Thinking Technology is an important step in boosting U.S. workers thinking productivity. It works by emulating how skilled consultants and educators provide intellectual guidance. In many respects, it functions in much the same way that the invention of the assembly line and factory automation improved Industrial era worker labor productivity. Note: This is the dry part of the handbook. Part 4: APPLICATIONS – Full Spectrum Innovation Full Spectrum Innovation puts the concept of Facilitated Thinking into practice with the following three Facilitated Thinking Environment (FTE) applications. 4. Personal Innovation FTE: This application empowers individual workers to tap into their creative talents and make performance improvements in their own jobs. 5. Team Innovation FTE: This application facilitates self-organizing teams to quickly experiment with existing technologies and create new innovations … at minimal cost.
