Development of AI, such as NovelAI has interesting potential for this technique. It was mentioned in "Science of Getting Rich" as well.It's controlled. You can dip in-between 'alters' without going full mental and use a different perspective looking at the same problem for a range of solutions.
It's easy to do as well. The technique I was taught was to imagine a tea-party/come-dine-with me/knights-of-the-round-table kind of idea. Imagine all of those characters and people. You select people, real or fictional, that you know inside and out. It could be a group made up of Homer Simpson, Tony Soprano, Lassie, Chairman Mao, Karl Marx and Hugo the mild-mannered janitor.
You imagine what they would say, how they would act to any given situation.
To make it easier, find drawings or figurines of the people and sit them around a table, then concentrate, and think.
Or, use it as work in meetings with managers. If you know the subject before hand, you can consider how they would react, what they would think of. This prepares you for any pushback or gotchas that may occur.
It sounds very woo-woo nu-age hippy shit, but it isn't. It's a tactic used, apparently, for millennia.
One version of this that doesn't sound so "crazy" (I get what you mean, but can see how it comes off to others) is shadowing boxing by professional boxers. They don't just randomly duck and jab, but study their opponent, learn their moves and techniques and essentially form a tulpa in their mind of them to spar against.
