Yesterday I set up a very impromptu workshop ideation session with a friend named Jacob. It started with the two of us and we had a bunch of A5 pieces of paper. We gave ourselves 2 minutes to come up with an idea for “How can we get people to care about Onzo’s more?”. Here were our two ideas…
The ideation exercise was designed to let the ideas we came up with go through many iterations in a short amount of time. We then had to come up with another idea based off of the other persons idea.
By this time we were growing in numbers. Taking up an open space was working to our advantage. We had Ester, Briar and Rowena join us and then Liam and Kane. The space came an organic one in that people were able to tag in or tag out whenever they felt like it. Anyone was welcome but no one was pressured in to working with us.
The group came up with many ideas for me and I felt the exercise extremely beneficial.
We then decided to go around in the circle and ideate for everyone else’s projects.
