Ideation, the process of generating new ideas and solutions, can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, the limitless potential of creative thinking is thrilling and offers endless opportunities for innovation. On the other hand, the ideation process can also be overwhelming and stressful, especially when trying to come up with new and innovative ideas.
Most of the time, the success of any ideation process is down to having the time to generate, develop and communicate ideas effectively. But there are other challenges that could be causing this blocker, and limiting your or your team’s creative output.
Some challenges with ideation processes include:
- Not having the time
- Inexperience with facilitating ideation sessions
- Unclear goals
- Hierarchy in teams can prohibit creative thinking
- Self imposed limitations
- Judgement from peers
- Fear of innovation
We can help in two ways:
Ideation Sessions
We can lead ideation sessions with your existing teams to help you facilitate creative thinking in an open, non-biased space. The goals of these sessions are agreed up front, but the main purpose would be to encourage the creativity you already have in your team to come to the surface.
Ideation Proposals
Instead, we can present our ideas to you in a proposal format based on your specific goals. This allows you to reflect on the ideas on your own or share them with your internal teams for further consideration and inspiration.
