Explanation

'Blue sky thinking' refers to creative, unrestricted brainstorming that isn't constrained by practical limitations or current realities. It's about visionary, idealistic ideas that might seem ambitious but encourage innovation. It's not day-dreaming (which is unproductive), avoiding work (delegation), or lacking ideas altogether.

AI explanation

'Blue sky thinking' refers to generating idealistic, unconstrained, or visionary ideas without worrying about practical limitations — the imagery evokes an open, limitless sky. It does not mean daydreaming idly at the office or having no ideas at all; those descriptions misread the positive, creative connotation of the phrase.
