This is a sketching technique that aims for quantity rather than quality; it’s about generating a vast number of ideas and is great for both designers and non-designers.
I wonder if there is a better way to do this besides sketching by hand? I cannot draw and I would have a hard time getting my ideas out because I would focused on sketching. Perhaps using an AI image tool would be better.
This technique can get up to 108 ideas from six participants in just 30 minutes, and it’s great if you want to encourage every participant to generate ideas – especially if your team is predominantly introverts.
This is a useful technique to try. I like the fact that you can still get ideas from the introverts because often times they tend get lost in the crowd when people are shouting out ideas. I also like the passing of the papers so that people can get feedback about their ideas without judgment.
inject fresh energy into a group that is starting to feel brain dead toward the end of a brainstorming session, according to Mattimore. It prompts participants to create new ideas by having them combine several categories of key words to create a name for a new idea – even though they have no idea what the newly-named idea IS yet.
This seems hard to do when you are already feeling drained. Brainstorming can be mentally taxing. I know there is a high cognitive load after a timeframe. I think it would be better to take a quick break and then do the semantic intuition.
you start out by asking for the impossible and then brainstorm ways to make it, or at least some approximation of it, possible.
This is very useful in Design Thinking. We want people to come up with ideas that go beyond limits and utilize their imagination. When you have people ideate without the constraints more ideas come.
