Brainstorming 101 is a self-paced, one-day workshop in brainstorming and innovation. It is presented as an electronic document, with checklists and exercises to guide you on each step. You'll generate actionable, real world ideas with every exercise. Self-assessment checklists provide feedback. Good brainstorming is part of a cycle of expansion and contraction. The first phase, expansion, relies on unleashing your creativity. The second, contraction, calls on you to use focus on the best or most relevant ideas. This workshop gives you the knowledge and tools to combine both. Topics include brainwriting, affinity diagrams, purpose hierarchies, performance gaps, structural changes and sources of innovation.
