The creative mind


Brainstorming could be quite time consuming. If we could use a method, we save a lot of time. The power of using morphological matrix to get combination for key words. Coming up with an acronym becomes so much easier.
The first step is to come up with as many positive words that relate to GOAL.
If we start off with the letter G, we could get the following words such as Grabbing your attention, giving your best, Go-getting, Good to greatness, going all the way, Glory, Getting there, grasping the subject. (8 possibilities)
Next if we look at the letter O, we could get the following words such as Opportunities, Outcome, Objective, Organizing your thought, Order, Optimism, on the right tracks, out to get the results. (8 possibilities)
Then if we look at A, we could get the following words such as Availability of resources, Accountability, Accuracy, Alliances, Amount of effort, Attitude, All out to win, Assign.(8 possibilities)
Finally if we look at L, we could get the following words such as Listen to your inner voice, Learning from others, looking for avenues, Lucky, Leading, Leverage, Letting your bad habits go, Likability. (8 possibilities)
We could possibly get 8 X 8 X 8 X 8 = 4,096 and if you just add one more possibilities to each you get 6,561 possible combinations that could be great solutions.
The following are just a few examples for G.O.A.L.
Grabbing your attention, objectives, accountability and leverage. Grasping the subject, objectives, accountability and leverage. Good to Greatness, objectives, accountability and leverage. Grabbing your attention, organize your thoughts, accountability and leverage. Go-Getting, objectives, accountability and learning from others.
