• If we start with our solutions are incorrect assumptions to be poorly constructed.
• All assumptions can be challenged. Many things are taken for granted because nobody has the time or the need to challenge them. It is important to recognize that nothing is sacrosanct. Once we accept that we are open to all sorts of sensational discoveries.

1. Set the challenge
2. List assumptions
3. Challenging the fundamental assumptions
4. Reverse each assumption: Write the opposite of each one of them.

5. different views that will prove useful.
6. Asking himself how to accomplish each reversal. List as many useful insights and ideas as possible.

Example:

Challenge: In what ways I can create a new business for airports and train stations?

basic assumptions:

• Airports and train stations are for people who are traveling from one point to another.
• Planes and trains are coming and going constantly.
• People part quickly

reverse Assumptions:

• airports and train stations are for people who are not traveling.
• Planes and trains are not arriving and departing.
• People are not starting quickly.

These assumptions make us realize that many people at airports and train stations spend much time in waiting.

The idea: A capsule hotel provides basic amenities in a modular prefabricated pullman style, to provide sleeping accommodations and may be stacked in twos or threes. Each capsule can have a television, radio, alarm clock and reading light. The price for a stay of 24 hours should be 50 percent cheaper than the hotels at airports and train stations, and can offer lower rates for long, maybe 10 pesos per hour. These hotels are in use in Japan and are quite popular. The capsules should be easy to clean and maintain.

reversal of assumptions allows us to:

1. Escape only look to challenge traditional
2. Release information acquiring form in different ways.
3. think provocatively. We can take a new position and work their consequences.
4. Find a new gap.

reversal of assumptions helps the imagination to escape the circumstances daily.
