IDEATION
Ideation is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. But how do you get ideas? By chance? Only in the shower? Is it only by chance?
Ideation comprises all stages of a thought cycle, from innovation, to development, to actualization. We learn to develop broad set of ideas in a structured way. There are many different approaches to this. In this workshop you will learn the basics of Ideation Method based on the principle of Design thinking. You can either develop an idea based on your PhD or work on a mock idea with us.
- Theory: Ideation based on Design Thinking
- Exercise: Find a real user’s problem and developing innovative Solutions
- Play: Get creative and find as many Solutions, filter your ideas and think big!
Workshop goals
- Getting to know the different elements of an ideation process
- Applying the concept of the problem-solution fit
- Learning how to structure ideas
- Finding best ideas in a guided process
