Study Notes

Design Thinking Ideate Phase

The Ideate phase is about generating creative ideas to solve problems identified during the Empathize and Define phases.
It is a crucial step in design thinking.

Ideation Techniques

Brainstorming: Encourages a free-flowing and judgment-free idea generation process. The goal is to capture a wide range of possibilities, both practical and innovative
Mind Mapping: Organizes ideas visually around a central concept, helping teams explore connections between ideas
Dot Voting: Used after brainstorming to narrow down the most promising ideas by voting. It helps identify which ideas resonate most within the group.
SCAMPER: A structured approach to idea generation, where participants ask specific questions like Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, and Reverse.
Impact Effort Matrix: Assesses ideas based on their potential impact and the effort required to implement them.

SCAMPER

SCAMPER is a structured approach to ideation that encourages creative thinking by asking a series of questions based on seven prompts:
- Substitute
- Combine
- Adapt
- Modify
- Put to another use
- Eliminate
- Reverse

Impact-Effort Matrix

The Impact-Effort Matrix is a tool for prioritizing actions based on the potential benefits and the resources required.
Quick Wins: High impact and low effort: Prioritized for immediate actions because they provide maximum value with minimal resources.
Major Projects: High-impact ideas that require significant effort: May need more planning and resources but can have long-term benefits.
Fill-ins: Low-impact ideas that require little effort: Can be pursued if there are spare resources, but should not be prioritized over more impactful initiatives.
