Rational/irrational decision making processes, mmmm. I once heard the process
of decision making described in the following way (interpolate it into
generating ideas please. Examine all the logical possibilities, the
consequences of action, the resultant benefits, the resultant deficits, the
pros and cons, the ethical and moral framework, the potential for pleasure the
potential for pain, and then, oh what the hell, just do something!!

Patrick,
For a (arrational but not irrational) link between
a 'generative idea' and 'wicked' problem-solving
from a different perspective, have a look at what
Fernando Flores (a Heideggerian management consultant)
writes about the way entrepreneurs 'hold onto
anomolies' in ways that reframe situations: eg the
second chapter (2. Entrepreneurship: The Skill of
Cultural Innovation) in Spinosa, Flores and Dreyfus
_Disclosing New Worlds_ [MIT, 1997).
