In the GInI Breakthrough Innovation Method, "Oblique Examination" is the third step, following Context and Exploration. TheCInP Handbookdescribes it as a dual-process phase where teams first use "divergent" thinking to generate a wide array of ideas and perspectives (expanding possibilities), then apply "convergent" thinking to synthesize and narrow these into actionable insights. This mirrors classic creativity models (e.g., Guilford’s divergent-convergent framework) adapted by GInI for innovation. "Oblique" suggests lateral, unconventional angles, but the process remains structured: diverge to explore, converge to refine. Option A, "fast/slow," refers to pace, not process type. Option C, "problem/solution," oversimplifies without capturing the thinking dynamics. Option D, "internal/external," might relate to sourcing but isn’t the focus here. Option B directly reflects GInI’s methodology, where divergent-convergent interplay drives breakthrough thinking. The original answer (B) is correct, embodying GInI’s balance of creativity and discipline, a hallmark of its systematic yet flexible approach to innovation.
