IDEATION TECHNIQUES

Description:

Time needed: a maximum of 90 minutes for a session, otherwise cognitive limits are reached and quality goes down.

​

Set-up: a creative question or prompt, an inspiring space, some great people with different points of view and lived experiences (individual work can be okay too!), a designated facilitator, appropriate supplies, wall space, and a series of short + structured ideation exercises to encourage people to dive deeper into possibilities.

​

Rules:

• Set a time limit

• Go for quantity

• Defer judgement - verbal and non-verbal

• Encourage wild ideas

• Build on the ideas of others

• Stay focused on the topic

• One conversation at a time

• Listen well

• Have fun and be playful!
