Some people think that the greatest invention of the 20th century is the invention of "the method to guide people how to make inventions", which is the "Osborne Checklist Method". List is an innovative method put forward by Mr. Osborne, the founder of creative technology and the father of innovative process. This list technology was originally only used as an auxiliary tool for the intellectual incentive method of the conference host to guide his speech.

Later, it was found in practice that this table can not only be used as a demonstration of how to ask questions, but also stimulate and produce many ideas, thus evolving into a creative technique.

Osborne's checklist helps us to broaden our imagination, think and solve problems from 9 dimensions and 75 questions.

1. No omission: check one by one according to the actual situation, and there is no omission.

2. Check more: It will be better to check multi-core several times, and it may be more accurate to select the aspects that need innovation and invention.

3. Be creative: When checking each item, you should exert your imagination and association as much as possible to generate more creativity. When we consider retrieval, we can treat each kind of problem as an independent innovative method. The inspection method can be based on the need, and one person can also carry out the inspection, and three to eight people can also carry out the inspection together. Collective investigation can stimulate each other, produce brainstorming and have more hope of innovation.

To sum up, the biggest enemy of innovation is thinking inertia. Most people always look at things consciously or unconsciously along the long-formed thinking mode and are insensitive to problems. Even if they see the defects and shortcomings of things, they are too lazy to think further, without thinking or thinking actively.
