The Metaphors for 21st Century logo background is a blue sky
over smooth water with thunder storms on the horizon. The
smooth water represents an ideal vision the world where the most
beautiful hot air balloon business plans are envisioned.
The storm clouds represent the imperfect world where unknown
factors come to blow the most beautiful hot air
balloon business plans off course.
The yellow starburst represents the many facets of a business,
paradigm, concept, etc. M21C has identified a variety of
facets which are explored in more detail in this website.
Inside the starburst is an eight pronged Carolina Snowflake
which depicts an 8 petal-facet view. I found the Carolina
Snowflake in a craft shop on the Blue Ridge Parkway and found it
to be a nice vehicle for discussing some of the M21C metaphors.
You can find instructions on how to make one at
http://www.basketsofjoy.com/carolina-snowflake.aspx ; it was created by
by
Billie Ruth Sudduth. The
Carolina Snowflake is ideal for discussing the eight facets or
petals of
ISCORPIO described in 4C.
Many promote the concept of thinking outside the box, but as I
think about it you need to think inside and outside the box for
a more complete view of the world. Destination
Imagination
http://www.destinationimagination.org/ has a nice logo
showing this.
Using Venn diagrams are a good way to think about inside and
outside transitions see 5B, Focus on
Partners Venn Diagram. |
