Pratique


Aim

This method gets everyone thinking outside the box, forcing the mind to come up with multiple ideas before landing on THE ONE!

Instructions

Time needed: 20 minutes

Key steps

  1. Set out the boundaries of the problem. [5 mins]
  1. Generation of ideas. [3 to 18 mins]
  1. Debrief and filter the ideas [10 mins]

Tips and advice

3 to 6 coefficients is ideal: any more and the task could go on for too long and you risk tiring the group out.
