Blue Sky Thinking

Cliché Strategy Buzzword General

Ideation without constraints — no budgets, no physics, no Legal. Pleasant for an hour; the constraints return with the minutes, and they have opinions about your sky.

Heard in the wild

“The offsite opened with blue sky thinking and closed with budget reality.”

Tone check: Cliché

Useful warm-up, dangerous destination. Innovation lives at the constraint boundary, not above the clouds.
