Welcome to my Little Red Brain!

This posting has been a long time coming. I have threatened over the past year to start keeping a blog. And now is the time. My plan is to post on a daily(ish) basis any thoughts and insights relating to my work and discoveries in the areas of creative problem solving, learning and personal development. I'll also be sharing the highs and lows of the cross-community conflict resolution work here in Northern Ireland. On top of that I also plan to log my experiences in bringing The Inner Vision Deck, Rory's Story Cubes and iSolve to market. These are just three of the products that I have invented using Creative Problem Solving. Each is in varying degrees of development. As for the title of the blog, Little Red Brain is the nickname that my wife has given to the red-cover spiralbound notebooks that I carry everywhere with me. I use them to capture ideas, to do's and general thoughts and awarenesses. This blog is essentially and extension of that little red notebook. To kick things I would like to point you towards the site of Win Wenger and Project Renaissance, in which I am involved. This site kicked of my real love of Creative Problem Solving as a powerful tool for transformation. I trained with Win in the use of Creative Problem Solving back in 2003. Much of his material is the equivalent of Open Source, in that it is freely available. I can personally testify that the techniques described on the site work, as I have used them to invent the products mentioned above. Until next time. Rory.
