Introduction
“Creative Facilitation is the art of leading a team through a creative process
in order to solve problems or generate new shared visions and
opportunities for organizations. Getting everyone on the same page in an
open and trustful atmosphere of creative collaboration demands special
care and attention.”
- Marc Tessoul -
Client Background
Envision empowers visually impaired people to become more independent by speaking out the visual
world around them. The Envision app and Envision Glasses use artificial intelligence to read all kinds of
text from any surface, recognize faces, describe scenes, find objects, scan barcodes, detect colors and so
much more. It is the best all-in-one tool in the pocket of a blind or low vision user for all of their visual
recognition tasks.

Problem as Perceived
The first diamond of the creative process focuses on problem finding, meaning that the given problem
needs to be investigated by the resource groups in order to help them understand the concept and define
a problem statement that helps in ideation.
Through purging in the problem as given, doing the Flower Association technique on the visual
impairment context, and utilizing the SPARK keywords informing “How to” questions, the resource group
was able to reach the following problem as perceived:
How to achieve complete independence for visually impaired people?
4. Client Report 4
Ideation Process
The second diamond of the creative facilitation process is focused on idea finding. In order to extract
more flexible ideas rather than quantity, the resource group was first asked to purge on the problem as
perceived. Then, the criminal round technique helped them get out of the context for a few minutes and
sympathize with four different criminal villain characters. The associations that came out of this round,
were force-fitted into the problem, leading to creative ideas.
The resource group was thus asked to rate the most outstanding ideas by the Hits and Dots method.
- Rules to keep in mind while
defining the problem statement
- Problem as perceived
5. Client Report 5
Session Results
The Final diamond of the process is solution
finding.
Since Envision did not aim to get detailed results
and solutions for their question, but they rather
expected out-of-the-box and crazy ideas,
visualizing top-rated ideas in a format of a poster
was chosen.
- Hits and Dots method
6. Client Report 6
Each participant took one of the ideas and
expanded in the format below.
