S2.3 Idea generation

So there is the task to create some ideas for the industry partner. How do you do that? There is no set method that guarantees success for being creative but this is one approach that might help.

IDEO is a leading design consultancy so they know about this process and to help them they developed the pack of 51 method cards. Many almost double up and some appear 'way out' but you are not expected to use every card. The idea is to browse the deck and see if there are suggestions that could work for you or the team. By combining the topics with the right method card I'm sure you can come up with at least one great idea.

Have a go! There are six packs of cards for short loan in the Engineering Library. Book the team a meeting room and the cards.

Also, David has prepared a helpful guide, Furniture What If? And for some more inspiration - innovationman.

Good luck!
