Ideation Techniques A Mini Workshop
summary
Groups roughly 40 techniques into a pragmatic BRITS framework that categorizes ideation into six slots (brain, reverse, imagine, together, holistic, sources) and maps specific methods—brainstorming, brainwriting, brainwalking, brain dumping, SCAMPER, mind‑mapping, storyboarding, crazy‑8s, HMW, provocation—and facilitation tools like dot voting. The framework claims flexibility to mix methods by product stage, advises capturing obvious ideas first, prioritizing quantity, reusing past concepts, and using dot voting to surface the top ideas quickly.
