Practical Tools

The toolkit comes with several easy-to-use tools to guide you and your team. These step-by-step frameworks take participants through a process to help surface ideas, identify patterns, make connections and draw conclusions. We'll outline how to use each tool with clear, concise instructions.

In Depth

This toolkit includes the following tools:

1. Beginner’s Mind: Approaching problems with a fresh perspective as if encountering them for the first time, free from preconceptions.

2. Big Idea: Focusing on generating transformative, large-scale concepts that have the potential to significantly impact a project or challenge.

3. Constraints: Using limitations and boundaries as a catalyst for creativity by challenging conventional thinking and encouraging innovative solutions.

4. Details: Paying close attention to the small elements of a problem or solution to uncover insights and opportunities for improvement.

5. Easy High Impact: Identifying and prioritising ideas that are simple to implement yet offer substantial benefits or results.

6. First Principles: Breaking down complex problems into their most basic elements to understand the fundamental truths and build innovative solutions from the ground up.

7. Half-Baked Ideas: Sharing and developing incomplete or rough ideas collaboratively to refine and evolve them into fully formed concepts.

8. Idea Collisions: Combining disparate ideas or concepts to generate novel solutions through the intersection of different perspectives and fields.

9. SCAMPER: A structured brainstorming technique that uses seven prompts (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) to explore and develop ideas.

10. T-Shape: Leveraging deep expertise in one area (the vertical bar) while also having broad knowledge across multiple disciplines (the horizontal bar) to enhance creative problem-solving.

Constraints

Innovation
content detail
Constraints are often the source of our best ideas. Think of Twitter's 140 character limit, or the 18 minute limit for TED Talks. We invite participants to write a list of all the constraints on a current project, then make them worse or introduce more severe constraints to force more radical, ambitious approaches. What new ideas does this provoke?
outcome
This technique offers a quick route to innovative suggestions. It challenges participants to be much more bold and groundbreaking than usual, in response to the unusually harsh constraints they are presented with.
Idea Collisions

Idea Collisions

Innovation
content detail
Many creative thinkers get their results by connecting existing concepts together to create something original. Here we try this systematically with ideas generated so far. How can the aspects of one idea merge with or be added to the aspects of another idea?
outcome
This technique always generates unique ideas, partly due to its random nature, and partly due to the necessary act of "colliding" several existing ideas together - something participants wouldn't normally do. The result is something new and original.

T-Shape

T-Shape

Innovation
content detail
It can be helpful to view creativity by looking at what some call the T-shaped person. Think of the vertical part of the T as the expertise most relevant to your job, i.e. law, or advertising, or rocket science. This is great, however to be more creative, consider focusing on the horizontal part of the T...
outcome
You might have started your career in a different industry, or you might have hobbies unrelated to the kinds of things you work on during the week. These diverse interests and experiences mean you can draw on different approaches to problems, and make unexpected connections.

💬 Discussion

The informality of our workshops enables participants to relax, express themselves freely and find common ground with others. This lends itself perfectly to idea generation by encouraging positive interactions and sharing.

💡 Experience

The approach is designed to be highly transformative, encouraging engagement and experimentation wherever possible. Participants make creative leaps and imagine the future, leading to insights and lightbulb moments.

🪞 Reflection

Participants learn valuable tools and achieve tangible outcomes by reflecting on what they have heard and experienced. This reflection aids recall and helps behaviours stick. Live feedback from peers takes this a step further.
