1.3.2. Sinektica.


This notion means unification of heterogeneous elements. Sinektica is a complex method of stimulating creative activity, using techniques of both "intellectual attack" and analogy/association methods.

The objective of the method is to direct spontaneous activity of brain and nervous system on investigation and transformation of a designing problem. The main creative techniques of Sinektica are the following analogues types:

In order to use sinektic method the group consisting of 2-3 specialists invited from other organizations and representing different trades and scientific directions (notably, biology, psychology, art) and researchers from other departments of this organization, is selected. Criteri.i for selection are the following: thinking flexibility, knowledge and practical experience diapason, age of 25-40, contrasting of psychological type's, ability to join the work of already existing sinektic groups. The main rule of a sinektor is to avuid banality of thinking and to begin a discussion with investigating of a b*:ic principle of a process.

The sinectors group is given a complex problem, which the main organization could do nothing with, and some period of time for its solving The received results are examined by the main department for its evaluation and implementation.

As a result figure 1.6. demonstrates a design of a space-suit с asp, elaborated by sinectors group, using different insects' organs as analogues.

Though sinektica is a method, considered to be effective enough, ore often it is used at intermediate designing stages, I.e. for elaboration of problem, the reality of which is already proved, and in order to receive a decision, which will be implemented by other people.
