What is Ideation?

Generation of new ideas and concepts to solve specific problems, either problems that your customers, consumers, or clients are facing (thus creating business concepts for new products and services that your organization can provide them with), or problems that your organization is experiencing (thus resulting into improvements in the internal structure or processes).

An ideation workshop is a quick, intensive, highly structured innovation cycle in which cross-functional teams explore solutions that address clearly defined problems (from a user or business perspective) by using various ideation techniques to come up with a diverse range of solutions.

Ideation workshop Benefits

Validated techniques will helo you to trigger new thoughts and produce tons of ideas and potential product concepts.

Leveraging Co-Creation for better outcomes

Co-creation of concepts leveraging internal know-how and external validated processes and methods. It is a structured process instead of “wild” techniques such as brainstorming.

Team Alignment

Focus, prioritization, and alignment of cross-functional teams (+Voting avoids long discussions). Quick alignment of cross-disciplinary teams.
