Integrative thinking in problem solving

Integrative thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves finding a better solution by balancing opposing ideas. This is exemplified by the case of the Lego movie, where the company had to choose between creative control and creating a great film. By giving up some control and allowing talented filmmakers to have creative autonomy, Lego was able to produce an amazing movie that resonated with audiences while still maintaining brand integrity.
