What is this for?

This bundle consists of three first-step ideation tools (Crazy 8s, Brainwriting, Collaborative Sketching) that help you ideate collaboratively with your colleagues and provide some structure to your ideas.

These tools are ideal to use in the solution development phase, after you’ve understood the problem and you have a clear HMW defined.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1

Ask one team member to do a dry-run of the pitch while the others use the pitch evaluation sheet to provide feedback (10 min). Tip: Invite colleagues who have not been involved in order to avoid confirmation bias and to get an honest opinion. If you know somebody who will be critical of your idea, definitely invite him/her as well.

Step 2

Review the evaluation sheets individually by passing them around (10 min).

Step 3

Have a group discussion about the results and on how you can improve your pitch (20 min).

Step 4

Agree on what needs to be improved in the first draft and divide roles and responsibilities (5 min).
