What is the process of coming up with a new business process through idea generation?

The process of coming up with a new business process through idea generation often involves brainstorming in informal settings such as off-sites, strategy sessions, and early-phase innovation projects. It relies on conceptual metaphors and is used to find new ways of seeing how the business works and to answer complex managerial challenges. This could involve restructuring an organization, codifying a system for making decisions, among others.
