Necessity is the mother of invention. When times or resources are tight, people usually figure out how to make due: they create work-arounds, devise new ways of operating, and make better use of limited assets. If you're looking for a creative solution or an innovative new product, remember that creative problem-solving is the inevitable result of working with constraints. Try deliberately imposing scarcity on a process. Trade in "blue sky" thinking for "closed world" techniques. Limit time, money, options, or other resources. Or, you can capitalize on the external constraints that the economy presents.
