Collaboration

Brainstorm

30-60mins
2-40 people

Utilize Brainstorms as a means to access a vast pool of knowledge and creativity. It is recommended to conduct them not only with your design team, but also with your partners and the individuals you are designing for. While adhering to the Brainstorm Rules for optimal results, it is important to prioritize openness, generating numerous ideas, and creativity over immediate feasibility. A positive, optimistic, and focused group dynamic is essential for successful Brainstorms.
