Conseils

• Encourage participants to focus on idea quantity over quality initially, to prevent self-censorship.

• Ensure a quiet environment to allow all voices to be 'heard' equally through writing.

• Use the review stage to explore and expand on the most promising ideas collaboratively.

Variantes

For a dynamic twist, participants can fold their idea cards into paper airplanes and fly them to another participant instead of passing them. Alternatively, set up flip-chart stations around the room for a gallery walk format.
