Lesson 5: Remix, Reframe, and Repurpose | Natalie Nixon

When music producers add new beats to an original track, change the tempo of the song, or insert samples from other songs, it’s called a “remix.” Taking something old and giving it a facelift or combining two things to create something new isn’t limited to music, of course — mashups are common in the fashion industry, too. But Natalie Nixon, founder of Figure 8 Thinking, says remixes and mashups are also a big part of creative success in the business world. In this video, she highlights the SCAMPER method for exploring how you might remix, reframe, and repurpose your products and services. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Natalie Nixon: Dr. Natalie Nixon is the Creativity Whisperer to the C-Suite, helping leaders achieve transformative business results by applying wonder, rigor, and foresight.
