RIDER and its value
Howkins (2001) proposes his RIDER process. This has five perspectives, some of which point in different directions. These are:
∑ REVIEW
∑ INCUBATION
∑ DREAMS
∑ EXCITEMENT
∑ REALITY CHECKS.
Howkins (2001:16-17) says of this process:
"My own analysis of the creative process is a five-fold mix of dreams and analysis, intuitive jumps and cold-blooded calculation spelled out in a list I call RIDER.
Some of these points are diametrically opposed (e.g. dreaming and checking). Some operate at different speeds (e.g. incubation and excitement).
The RIDER acronym helps people trying to work towards a solution to their problem choice and ‘premise’, since it recognises the tensions between opposites. The mind jumps about in search of energising eureka moments"
I have put this in here because it is something I am always thinking about (like "marsing" - see previous post) and so I should post it now, if only to review much later.
