Cross Domain Thinking

Using the knowledge and insights of one domain in another domain. This can create new insights, products, solutions or processes.

Use category of concepts when looking for different domains...

  • Physical objects
  • Natural phenomena
  • Abstract concepts
  • Mathematical concepts
  • Scientific concepts
  • Social concepts
  • Historical Concepts
  • Technological Concepts

A quick hack to understand concepts you don't understand. Try this using LLMs...

  • "Explain Domain 1 using an analogy of Domain 2
  • Look at D1 through the lens of D2
  • Use D1 in the field of D2
  • Example: How can I use systems thinking(D1) within the field of personal knowledge management(D2)

Be careful with using the LLM for this - it can give very convincing, but incorrect answers.
