Generate ideas quickly
What is it about?
Start a dynamic brainstorming session on your Infinity Stonepaper to generate a series of ideas in no time. This method encourages spontaneous and bold idea generation in no time.
Time: 10 minutes
What's the point?
When you generate ideas freely and without filters, the most amazing things often come out of it. And if you're faced with a challenge, just take 10 minutes and approach it with a variety of ideas.
Individually
How it works
- Blank Infinity Stonepaper. Take a free Infinity Stonepaper and prepare your washable pens.
- Choose a topic : Write the topic or challenge you want to brainstorm ideas for at the top of the paper.
- Timer Challenge : Set a timer for 5 minutes. The goal is to fill the paper with as many ideas as possible before the timer runs out.
- No filter : Write down every idea that comes to mind, no matter how crazy it seems.
- Reflect : After the timer runs out, take time to highlight the ideas that stand out.
- Wipe Away : Simply wipe away the less convincing ideas.
Example
Jane wants to live more sustainably, so she writes "sustainability at home" on her paper. She sets the timer for 5 minutes and writes down everything from "reduce waste" to "buy secondhand clothes" to "eat a plant-based diet." After the time is up, she highlights the ones she wants to implement, like "make your own cleaning products."
In the team
How it works
- Prepare Take an Infinity Notepad to pass around or place an Infinity Board on the table or wall.
- Common theme : Agree on a brainstorming topic and write it in the middle of the Infinity Stonepaper.
-
All-round ideas : One after the other, you take turns writing ideas on the paper. (Notepads can be passed around). You can:
- Generate new ideas
- Building on other people’s ideas and add modifications or improvements.
- Idea Relay : Limit each move to 30 seconds to keep the pace lively and exciting.
- Highlight and Vote : Once the paper is full or the session ends, each player highlights an idea that seems most promising.
- Group discussion : Discuss the highlighted ideas and decide if some could be combined or further improved.
Example
Mia starts with "vertical gardens." Noah adds "hydroponic systems," and Liam suggests "community garden apps." They build on each other's ideas, with Mia sketching out a structure for vertical gardens, Noah drawing a simple hydroponic setup, and Liam designing an app interface.
They discuss the ways in which these technologies could be implemented in urban spaces and visualize how an app could connect the community and share resources.
At the end of the session, they decide to combine their ideas into a project for a “Hydroponic Vertical Garden with a Community App” and plan a meeting to develop a prototype.
