Idea Generation Workshop Activities

Let your participants enjoy fresh air while talking about serious topics

Vivid way to structure a discussion for a complex topic.

A lateral thinking approach for ideas to a difficult problem

The goal of this game is to generate ideas with silent sticky note writing.

Studenten maken een Concept Map om concepten en thema’s te identificeren en de onderlinge relaties te visualiseren.

In een Concept Map kunnen de relaties en verhoudingen tussen ideeën, concepten en belangen schematisch weergegeven worden, zodat het verband met het centrale onderwerp of idee zichtbaar wordt. 

Use Craig Raine's poem A Martian Sends a Postcard Home to spur creative thinking and encourage perspective shifting in a group. After a warm-up, you can then use this martian perspective to describe your product or service and gain new insights and ideas.

Build personas of ideas, products or experiences.

Imagine your product is a person. What's its name? What would its ideal date night be? Does it prefer the beach or the woods? This exercise is a playful way to nail down the essence of your idea, product, or service. Use it in ideation or as a way to hone an existing concept.

Creativity through pictures and images

Build common understanding about culture, customer, future, strategy or next needed steps for a team or organisation based on the Agile Manifesto.

Simple, classic brainstorming with two variants. Popcorn - where participants speak out-loud and Round Robin - where participants work in silence and pass their ideas to the next person in turn. 

Images have the ability to spark insights and to create new associations and possible connections. That is why pictures help generate new ideas, which is exactly the point of this exercise.

A brainstorming and prioritizing method that places emphasis on the most important ideas and actions.
