Creative problem-solving frameworks for ideating with generative AI
Innovation flourishes at the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence.
The human-AI partnership can lead to countless variations of ideas, sparking innovative concepts that provoke thought and challenge traditional norms. This is the promise of generative AI—it acts as a creative catalyst and a source of inspiration that, when used effectively, can elevate our creative efforts to new heights. However, like any powerful tool, its potential depends on proper guidance. To navigate this terrain effectively, we need frameworks that help us concentrate and channel AI’s unrefined power into focused bursts of brilliance. Such frameworks should be viewed not as restrictive rules but as lenses enabling us to refine and enhance creative output, helping us to avoid uninspired results or mundane and predictable outcomes. These frameworks can also help us bust biases and allow us to explore a broader set of possible solutions.

If you missed my presentation at RSAC on "Using the Premeditation of Evils in Risk Planning" at the end of April, you can listen to this 5-minute summary of my talk from NotebookLM, based on my slides.
Creative problem-solving is everyone’s business. Risk planning today demands more than technical expertise—it requires imagination.
Cybersecurity has long been about detecting known signals. But the next wave of threats? They’ll look like nothing we’ve seen before. That’s where creative frameworks come in—training the mind to think beyond precedent, and GenAI can support that leap.
I talked about benefit of using the premeditation of evils in this recent podcast appearance on the “Frictionless Experience.” Here’s a clip on the power of planning for negative outcomes as a strategy for ensuring success and resilience:
