How to run it

  1. 1

    Prepare a 4x4 grid on a large surface, labeling the vertical axis 'Emotional' and the horizontal axis 'Practical'.

  2. 2

    Distribute post-it notes and markers to participants, using different colors for emotional, practical, and combined ideas.

  3. 3

    Instruct participants to write down their ideas on the sticky notes and place them on the grid according to their emotional and practical values.

  4. 4

    Collaborate as a group to merge ideas from the emotional and practical sections into cohesive pitches, placing these new '2-brain' messages in the appropriate areas on the grid.

Tips

  • Encourage a playful atmosphere to foster creativity and openness.

  • Allow participants to iterate on ideas over multiple sessions to refine their pitches.

  • Keep the grid visible for ongoing inspiration and adjustment.
