Retroduction

Involves changing an assumption. By changing an assumption individuals might gain a valuable new perspective of looking at things from a different angle. Einstein revised Newtons’ assumption that space is flat to the assumption that space is curved and developed new perspective on time and space. One such technique could be say suppose X were Y suppose secretaries were accountants. Another way of asking what if eg. What if space had only two dimensions. By asking such questions individuals can develop innovative ideas which can help an organization introduce a new change on the products or procedures.
