Peopleware: Ideas to help Brainstorming
As facilitator, try these ploys to restart participants’ thinking when the idea flow slows down:
- Analogy thinking (How does nature solve this or some similar problem?)
- Inversion (How might we achieve the opposite of our goal?)
- Immersion (How might you project yourself into the problem?) (DeMarco and Lister 2013, chap. 37)
