Idea Generation Process
Introduction
Initiating the Idea Generation Process
necessitates resource allocation. While valuable
ideas can manifest unexpectedly and should be
embraced whenever they arise, creative thinking
predominantly emerges from systematic
groundwork and structure.
The idea generation process is a systematic
approach to creating new and innovative concepts,
solutions, or possibilities. It involves various
techniques and stages that encourage creative
thinking and the exploration of novel ideas. Here is a
general outline of the idea generation process:
Understanding the Problem or Goal
Clearly define the specific problem, challenge, or goal
that needs creative solutions. Understand the context
and potential impact.
Research and gathering Information
Conduct thorough research to gather insights, data, and
relevant information related to the problem. Understand
existing solutions, market trends, and user needs.
Brainstorming
Facilitate brainstorming sessions where participants
freely generate a wide range of ideas. Encourage a
non-judgmental atmosphere that fosters creativity. Use
techniques like mind mapping, word association, or
random stimuli.
Divergent Thinking
Encourage participants to explore unconventional and
diverse solutions. Encourage thinking “outside the box”
and consider all possibilities, even those that seem
far-fetched initially.
