The parallel strategies idea was inspired by Michael Michalko's excellent book "Cracking Creativity", which presents the technique of using "parallel worlds" to jump-start the creative process.
Each of the strategy categories has a card which allows the player to use 2 cards from the same suit. You can then use the parallel idea as a single strategy, and use it against other strategies. You can even take it one step further and use 2 parallel concepts against one another, such as Transparent Earth/Clouds Evolve.
Example:
ABSTRACTION: Transparent Earth
MELODY: Angular Arabic
RHYTHM: Robotic Swing
TREATMENT: Telephone Voice Delays
