Inspiration

When writing, or working on something that is similarly creative, I sometimes
get stuck and need to do something for inspiration.  Generally I will read a
magazine or scan design websites or visit the NFB website to watch some of
their more creative films.

I believe that risk management also needs to occasionally take a step back
and get some external inspiration and perhaps more importantly some
externally inspired creativity.  Analysis by itself is fine, but as Einstein
said, "the same thinking that created a problem cannot solve the problem"
… (or he said something like that …)
