Structured Approach to Focused Idea Generation Workshops PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide 7 Steps to Brainstorming PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach to conducting effective brainstorming sessions, emphasizing the importance of focused idea generation workshops. It contrasts traditional brainstorming methods, which often result in chaotic discussions, with a more organized format that involves small subgroups. These subgroups, consisting of 3 to 5 participants, are tasked with addressing a single question for a set duration, typically around 30 minutes. This structure encourages more open and frank discussions, as smaller groups tend to foster a more comfortable environment for participants to share their ideas.

The slide highlights the necessity of managing group dynamics by identifying individuals who may inhibit the flow of ideas. It categorizes these individuals into 3 types: bosses, "big mouths," and subject matter experts. The presence of these individuals can stifle contributions from others, particularly in mixed organizational levels where hierarchical pressures exist. The recommendation is to create subgroups that minimize these dynamics, allowing for a more equitable exchange of ideas.

Furthermore, the slide suggests assigning a specific number of questions—between 15 to 20—to each subgroup, ensuring that participants are prepared to engage with the material effectively. This focused approach not only streamlines the brainstorming process, but also enhances the quality of the ideas generated. Overall, the slide advocates for a more disciplined method of brainstorming that can lead to more actionable insights and innovative solutions.
