DIVERGENT THINKING

We specialize in expertly facilitating sessions that break through mental blocks and encourage a flood of diverse ideas. Our approach combines proven techniques with practical insights to ensure engaging and productive sessions.

• Technique Mastery: We introduce and guide your teams through a curated suite of powerful divergent thinking techniques, including: 
  • Brainwriting: A silent, structured method to generate numerous ideas without typical group inhibitions.
  • SCAMPER: A robust checklist (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify/Magnify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse/Rearrange) for innovating on existing products, services, or processes.
  • Worst-Case Scenario: A counter-intuitive technique that encourages creative problem-solving by exploring potential pitfalls to generate solutions.
  • Random Word Association: Using unrelated words to spark new connections and unconventional ideas.
  • Analogy Thinking: Drawing parallels from seemingly unrelated fields to find innovative solutions.
  • and many more tailored to your specific content.
• Case Study Integration: Each technique is brought to life with relevant case studies and examples, demonstrating real-world applications and inspiring participants with tangible success stories from various industries.
• Engaging & Interactive Sessions: Our facilitation style is dynamic and participatory, designed to maximize idea output while keeping energy levels high and fostering a collaborative, non-judgmental environment.

Sometimes, the best way to think differently is to do differently. We incorporate a unique, tactile approach to divergent thinking, leveraging physical tools to stimulate imagination and unlock new perspectives.

• Tactile Ideation with Creative Tools: We utilize a range of everyday and specialized materials to encourage out-of-the-box thinking and break free from traditional linear thought: 
  • Lego Serious Play (or similar constructible materials): Building metaphors and models to articulate complex ideas, challenges, and solutions in a tangible way.
  • Dough & Clay Modeling: Encouraging spontaneous creation and expression of concepts, leading to unexpected insights.
  • Thermocol & Craft Supplies: Providing materials for rapid prototyping of ideas, fostering a bias towards action and visual communication.
  • Drawing & Sketching Exercises: Simple yet powerful methods to visualize ideas and explore connections that words alone might miss.
• Sensory Engagement: These hands-on activities engage different parts of the brain, promoting intuitive thinking, enhancing memory retention, and often leading to more original and impactful ideas.
• Safe Space for Experimentation: Participants are encouraged to play, experiment, and embrace imperfection, fostering a fearless approach to generating novel concepts and solutions.
