TL;DR
This paper introduces two formalized, executable protocols for creative emergence and strategic foresight, translating classical theories into practical, step-by-step procedures with demonstrated effectiveness.
Contribution
It formalizes and evaluates two novel protocols that operationalize classical theories, enabling on-demand creative and strategic insights with measurable quality criteria.
Findings
Protocols produce outputs with greater structural novelty.
Higher parameter specificity in protocol outputs.
Success rate of 87.5% in cross-domain experiments.
Abstract
Creativity and strategic foresight have been extensively studied through descriptive theories -- Koestler's bisociation (1964), de Bono's lateral thinking (1967), and Ansoff's weak signals (1975) explain why creative and strategic insights occur, but offer limited guidance on how to produce them on demand. This paper presents two executable protocols that bridge this theory-practice gap: GHOSTY COLLIDER, a 5-step protocol for cross-domain creative emergence through structural de-labeling and collision, and PRECOG PROTOCOL, a 5-step protocol for signal-based strategic foresight with multi-axis timing judgment. We formalize established theories into repeatable, step-by-step procedures with explicit quality criteria, anti-pattern detection, and measurable outputs. We evaluate the protocols through three complementary methods: (1) five detailed case studies across distinct domains, (2)…
