⚡ Classic Brainstorming
Create a lot of ideas in a place with no judgment where the number of ideas initially has more weight than their quality, thus allowing for crazy ones and also building on others' ideas without criticism.
🧠 Mind Mapping
Draw visual diagrams that start from the central problem, divide into related ideas and sub-ideas that are explored for their connections and stimulate associative creative thinking.
🎭 Role Storming
Explore various viewpoints by taking on the roles of stakeholders, competitors, or experts to eliminate mental barriers and get solutions from multiple viewpoints.
🔄 SCAMPER Technique
Creatively ask and systematically modify existing solutions by the questions: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, or Reverse.
📝 Brainwriting
All participants quietly write their ideas down on paper and then pass their papers to the next person who adds to them thus minimizing group think and providing introverts with an equal share in the process.
🔮 Reverse Thinking
Change the problem around by asking what would cause it, or worsen it, then transforming those ideas into solutions that are not the usual ones but that are effective, thus unveiling unconventional approaches.
🌟 Six Thinking Hats
The six colored hats are used to represent different thinking modes: facts, emotions, caution, benefits, creativity, and process hence exploring solutions from structured angles.
