Open Ideation

What Will You Gain From This Activity?

Open ideation is based on the assumption that the best ideas for new products, services, and business models may come from outside of your organisation or from those people inside of it who are typically excluded from the ideation process.

What Does The Activity Entail?

Thus, through this exercise, we would like you to broaden your organisation's funnel to harness the accumulated knowledge of these voices by means of developing an integrated solution later on.

Gather your Diverse Empowered Team and invite to the ideation process a few more individuals if you think they could help in making it richer. During the activity you should focus on the number of ideas, rather than their quality, as the more ideas you are able to gather, the higher the chances will be for better solutions to arise.

Absurd Ideas Ideation

What Will You Gain From This Activity?

Through this exercise, your team should purposefully ideate the most absurd solutions for your challenges. Despite it seeming irrational, absurd ideation has been proved to let creativity flow while challenging individuals' assumptions and allowing them to gain insights towards great ideas.

What Does The Activity Entail?

Gather your Diverse Empowered Team, and during 20 minutes let your imagination run wild with ideas of all sorts on how your challenge could be solved.

Once the time is over, you'll be left with all sorts of ideas from everyone on your team. Look at them in detail and discuss how they could be turned into real solutions to the challenge.
