The document discusses ideation, which is the process of generating ideas, as part of the design thinking process. It provides several techniques for ideation, including brainstorming, brainwriting, SCAMPER, and mind mapping. Brainstorming involves generating many ideas without judgement in a set time period. Brainwriting has participants write down their ideas anonymously. SCAMPER is a mnemonic to help spark ideas by substituting, combining, adapting, modifying, putting to other uses, eliminating, or rearranging aspects. Mind mapping visually organizes ideas. The document also includes examples of applying these techniques to generate possible solutions to problems.

3. Ideation is the mode of design
process in which one concentrates
on idea generation . It represents a
process of “ going wide “ in terms of
concepts and outcomes . It
provides both the fuel and source
of materials for building prototypes
and getting innovative solutions
into the hands of your users.

thoughts , wild ideas and
exploration of solutions

the right idea , its about

of possibilities. “

9. Ideation Techniques:
1. Brainstorming - is a method design
teams use to generate ideas to solve
clearly defined design problems.
Rules for effective brainstorming
Set a time limit – depending on the problem’s
complexity ( 15 to 60 minutes is normal )
Begin with a target problem/ brief – members should
approach this sharply define question , plan or goal and

10. Rules for effective brainstorming
Aim for quantity – Remember, “quantity breeds
quality”. The sifting-and- sorting process comes
later.
Build on others’ ideas – It’s a process of association
where members expand on others’ notions and reach
new insights, allowing these ideas to trigger their own.
Say “and”—rather than discourage with “but”—to get
ideas closer to the problem.

11. Rules for effective brainstorming
Refrain from judgement / criticism – no one
should be negative (including via body
language ) about any idea.
Encourage weird and wacky ideas – Further to
the ban on killer phrases like “too expensive”,
keep the floodgates open so everyone feels
free to blurt out ideas (provided they’re on
topic).

12. 2. Brainwriting?
Brainwriting is an idea generation method. Instead of asking
participants to yell out lots of ideas during your brainstorming
session, the brainwriting technique involves writing them down
Here’s how it works:
• The first person in the group writes their idea down on a sticky note.
• Then it’s someone else’s turn.
• They add their idea to another sticky note, but it can’t be the same as
the idea that’s already been written.
• The group repeats the process for 10–15 minutes.
• The group reviews all the ideas and discusses them.

13. When to use brainwriting ?
To generate new ideas. Brainwriting is an ideal
technique for teams that want to encourage new ideas.
To create innovative solutions. The entire
brainwriting process encourages original ideas from
every individual.
To encourage everyone to participate. With
brainwriting, everyone gets a chance to have their
voices heard.

14. 3. Scamper
Scamper is a useful
list of words to help us
think differently about
a problem ,idea,
concept or issue.

15. ubstitute - What can you substitute ?
What or who could you use instead ?
ombine - What can you combine or bring together ?
dapt - What can you adapt for use as a solution ?
odify - Can you modify or change the item in some ways ?
ut to other Uses – What other or new ways could this be used ?
liminate – What can you get rid of ?
earrange – What could you rearrage or change around

17. 4. Mind mapping
A mind map is diagram ,
an easy way to organize
thoughts. It allows you to
visually structure your
ideas to help with
