Lightning Demos
Lightning Demos are quick presentations where team members share existing products or services that inspire their design ideas. This method helps spark creativity and provides useful reference points for future brainstorming sessions.
How to run it
- 1
Ask each participant to find one product or service that inspires them.
- 2
Set a timer for each presentation (suggest 5-10 minutes).
- 3
Have participants present their demos to the group.
- 4
Capture key insights and themes from each demo.
Tips
Encourage participants to focus on what they love about each demo.
Remind the team that the goal is inspiration, not critique.
Take notes during presentations to compile ideas later.
Variations
You can adapt this method by allowing participants to present in small groups or by focusing on a specific theme, like sustainability or user experience.
