English term or phrase: think outside the circle

A phrase from a product brochure for an innovative tool for the building industry.

I can come up with several translations, but none of them seem to be as catching as the English one... Any suggestions?

een origineel en innovatief (of vernieuwend) product

Explanation:
Bekijk onderstaand link van collega Henk Peelen maar eens; je moet de zin wel een beetje omschrijven denk ik, maar zijn antwoord (originele, frisse, innovatieve ideëen aandragen) dekt het dan wel denk ik (je moet dan alleen nog iets met "an innovative tool")

buiten je eigen kringetje denken

Explanation:
En zo zijn er nog wel een paar waar ik op dit moment zo gauw ook niet op kom, dit is uiteraard het meest letterlijke. Je zou bijvoorbeeld ook kunnen zeggen 'verder kijken dan je neus lang is', 'ruim denken', enz.
