BRAINSTORMING IS A TOOL
FOR CREATIVE THINKING
BEFORE YOU START…
CREATE A DESIGN QUESTION
TO DRIVE YOUR SESSION
HOW MIGHT WE … ?
A GOOD DESIGN QUESTION IS..
1.    FRAMED IN AN OPTIMISTIC TONE
2.    NOT TOO BIG OR BROAD
3.    NOT TOO SPECIFIC
4.    FRAMED TO INSPIRE A LOT OF IDEAS
SHOW SOMETHING OF THE
CONTEXT TO INSPIRE THE TEAM
Ex.:
   Context: Cooking together with friends at public spaces.
        Design question: How might we create a new experience of cooking together with
        friends at public spaces?
THE
BRAINSTORMING
RULES
1. NOT MORE
THAN 30MIN EACH
SESSION
2. DEFER
JUDGMENT
Turn off your critical filters. Judgment is not
what we are looking for at this moment.
No “Buts”
3. ENCOURAGE
WILD IDEAS
Even when it is hard to be implemented a
wild idea can be a good inspiration for
possible ideas
4. BUILD ON IDEAS
OF OTHERS
It is a group session. Don’t be afraid of proposing
something more to the other ideas.
Yes, and…
6. STAY FOCUSED
ON THE TOPIC
Remember our design question. It's what keeps
us focused on the problem
7. ONE CONVERSATON
AT TIME
8. BE VISUAL
It is not about making a masterpiece. It’s
about communicating your idea in a way that
your team members can understand it.
9. GO FOR QUANTITY
Don’t hold your ideas. Share as many as possible
Let’s start!
