By most standards our world today is facing crises of watershed proportions. Most commentators agree that we need innovation, creativity and real leadership not only to weather the crises but to emerge from them stronger than we were before. Scientists may call it trial and error. I prefer to refer to the process of finding new and exciting ways of finding different solutions and workable ideas as play.

This is the essence of thinking out-of-the-box.
