Challenge conventional thinking in a judgement-free environment.
Use this template to introduce new constraints to your creative thinking in this fast paced, high energy brainstorming session.
This is a safe space for openly sharing ideas:
Listen with an open mind
Remember everyone’s opinion is valid
Focus on generating ideas, not judging them
Set a clear topic or theme for the brainstorm.
Breakup into two teams to start. Set a timer and start brainstorming. Come up with as many ideas as possible. Nothing is off the table.
Discuss the idea in your team as you add it to see if anyone has anything to add or refine.
Come back together as a group.
Have teams remove ideas from the opposite team’s board that may not seem achievable supportable or that don’t relate to the brainstorming objective.
Generous trimming of ideas is important to make room for new ones.
Avoid discussing what's being removed. This stops creative flow and moves into judgment.
Assign new teams. Each with their own individual Disrupt card. Choose cards that relate to the theme of your brainstorm.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for an additional round.
With the ideas you have left assign an owner to each and investigate making the idea a reality.
