Blue-sky thinking

Creative brainstorming without constraints.

"Let's do some blue sky thinking about future possibilities."

A corporate euphemism for "wasting time on impossible ideas" that makes pointless brainstorming sound like innovative strategy, usually followed by doing nothing because the ideas are completely unrealistic.

"Examples:\n- "Let's do some blue sky thinking." (let's waste time on ideas we'll never implement)\n- "Blue sky thinking will inspire us." (blue sky thinking will remind us how limited we are)\n- "We need more blue sky thinking." (we need more ways to avoid doing actual work)"
