The document outlines an agenda for an idea generation workshop. The workshop goals are to generate a wide range of ideas, be creative, and build upon each other's concepts. The team goals are to avoid saying no, focus on quantity, and build on others' ideas. The agenda includes icebreakers, exercises for generating concepts individually and in groups, and sharing ideas. The exercises provide directions, templates, and tools to facilitate idea generation around design directions, trends, personas, dichotomies, and storyboarding scenarios.
