Drawn from several domains, including education, consumer research, business
model design and emergent strategy.
7 steps for idea generation
• 1-3 = help managers understand problem deeply
• 4-6 = how to generate tangible ideas for solutions
• 7 = how to translate ideas into action
1. DEFINE PROBLEM SOLUTION SPACE- PREPARATION

• Look at organisations boundaries
- Set boundaries.

acceptable

generated
• Forces idea generation to focus on an area

assumptions considering concepts from other contexts

individually for 5-10 minutes
