Analogy Thinking

An idea generation and problem-solving technique which involves the transfer of meaning from one context and which is utilised in a new, sometimes innovative, way in different context.

An analogy could be that a human body requires balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle to fully develop resilience to some illnesses.

How might this concept be applied to turf management? The focus of a problem might be to understand what is meant by a stress-free plant and how maintenance activities can be adjusted to achieve optimum development, using analogies from human health.
