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.
