Circle of Opportunity is a Morphological Forced Connections technique by Michael Michalko and is defined in detail in his book Thinkertoys.
The process is
- State the Challenge
- Draw a circle and number it like a clock (number 1 through 12)
- Select any 12 attributes
- Throw a pair of dice to select the first attribute
- Throw a pair of dice to select the second attribute
- Consider the attributes, both separately, and combined, to find an association between the two attributes.
- Search for a link between your association and your challenge
