Tools which help the mind to adopt new perspectives

Creativity templates have been constructed to stimulate and challenge the minds of the group to take different perspectives on a situation, and to see what new ideas or insights emerge from this.
Their sole impact is on the minds which engage with them, which will be a source of continuing disappointment to any who are hoping for a tool which will provide them with a clear and creative answer delivered directly out of the tool.

As with the standard templates, each creativity template has its own page, which contains links to reference material and guidance (where available).
The creativity iFrames are:
