@dougaled
People can be overly concerned about how their ideas will be perceived.
Most ideas never leave the thinker’s mind because of this internal editing.
Brainstorming & groupthink

How might we…
Use parts of this problem for good?
Separate the problem from the experience?
Make it the opposite of the problem?
Challenge the assumption of the problem?
Change the status quo that

The BIG idea Take a moment to get a little bit of background
“WHY?” Think of a BIG idea that may (or may not) be an answer to this problem.
DOESN’T MATTER (or does it?)
Pass it on

@dougaled
Develop the idea Read the problem and the BIG idea.
Look for a connection.
Ask yourself “WHY?”
Develop idea in a way you think might work.
Pass it on

@dougaled
Ask yourself some questions… Do you think you are solving a problem?
Do you know whose problem you’re solving?
Do you know what problem you’re solving?
How do you know?
Have you talked to people?
…Has your idea changed as a result?
