Study Notes

Brainstorming Techniques

  • Mind mapping helps organize thoughts and ideas around a central idea, which can then be branched out based on individual perspectives.
  • The 5 Whys method involves repeatedly asking "why" to understand the root cause of a problem, digging deeper with each answer.

Creative Thinking

  • Figure storming involves putting oneself in a famous person's shoes to think about how they would act in a certain situation, generating possible action plans.
  • Reverse brainstorming involves thinking about how to worsen a problem, then reversing those ideas to find solutions.
  • Brain writing involves quickly writing down ideas, then sharing and refining them with others to generate more ideas.

Idea Generation

  • Rapid ideation involves generating a large number of ideas in a short period, promoting out-of-the-box thinking and open-mindedness.
  • Gap filling involves setting a goal and identifying the current state, then bridging the gap between the two.
