Walking Brainstorm
This brainstorming method encourages participants to generate ideas while physically moving. It creates a dynamic atmosphere where individuals can silently contribute to and build on each other's thoughts, making it suitable for large groups or as an energizer.
Cómo ejecutarlo
- 1
Ensure there is enough space for participants to walk freely without bumping into each other.
- 2
Write a topic or question on several posters and place them around the room with adequate space for interaction.
- 3
Consider varying the question on each poster to widen the scope of ideas.
- 4
Set a timer for 3 to 15 minutes, depending on group size and topic complexity.
- 5
Distribute post-it notes and markers to all participants.
- 6
Instruct participants to move silently and write their ideas on post-it notes, sticking them on the relevant posters.
- 7
Encourage the use of one post-it note per idea to facilitate clustering later.
- 8
At the end of the time, conduct a group debrief or have small teams discuss the posters and report back.
Consejos

Check in with participants to ensure they feel comfortable and understand the instructions.
Variaciones
