# Brainstorming Techniques Task
|
||||
|
||||
This task provides a comprehensive toolkit of creative brainstorming techniques for ideation and innovative thinking. The analyst can use these techniques to facilitate productive brainstorming sessions with users.
|
||||
|
||||
## Process
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Session Setup
|
||||
|
||||
[[LLM: Begin by understanding the brainstorming context and goals. Ask clarifying questions if needed to determine the best approach.]]
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Establish Context**
|
||||
|
||||
- Understand the problem space or opportunity area
|
||||
- Identify any constraints or parameters
|
||||
- Determine session goals (divergent exploration vs. focused ideation)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Select Technique Approach**
|
||||
- Option A: User selects specific techniques
|
||||
- Option B: Analyst recommends techniques based on context
|
||||
- Option C: Random technique selection for creative variety
|
||||
- Option D: Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Core Brainstorming Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
#### Creative Expansion Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"What If" Scenarios**
|
||||
[[LLM: Generate provocative what-if questions that challenge assumptions and expand thinking beyond current limitations.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- What if we had unlimited resources?
|
||||
- What if this problem didn't exist?
|
||||
- What if we approached this from a child's perspective?
|
||||
- What if we had to solve this in 24 hours?
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Analogical Thinking**
|
||||
[[LLM: Help user draw parallels between their challenge and other domains, industries, or natural systems.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- "How might this work like [X] but for [Y]?"
|
||||
- Nature-inspired solutions (biomimicry)
|
||||
- Cross-industry pattern matching
|
||||
- Historical precedent analysis
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Reversal/Inversion**
|
||||
[[LLM: Flip the problem or approach it from the opposite angle to reveal new insights.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- What if we did the exact opposite?
|
||||
- How could we make this problem worse? (then reverse)
|
||||
- Start from the end goal and work backward
|
||||
- Reverse roles or perspectives
|
||||
|
||||
4. **First Principles Thinking**
|
||||
[[LLM: Break down to fundamental truths and rebuild from scratch.]]
|
||||
- What are the absolute fundamentals here?
|
||||
- What assumptions can we challenge?
|
||||
- If we started from zero, what would we build?
|
||||
- What laws of physics/economics/human nature apply?
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structured Ideation Frameworks
|
||||
|
||||
1. **SCAMPER Method**
|
||||
[[LLM: Guide through each SCAMPER prompt systematically.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- **S** = Substitute: What can be substituted?
|
||||
- **C** = Combine: What can be combined or integrated?
|
||||
- **A** = Adapt: What can be adapted from elsewhere?
|
||||
- **M** = Modify/Magnify: What can be emphasized or reduced?
|
||||
- **P** = Put to other uses: What else could this be used for?
|
||||
- **E** = Eliminate: What can be removed or simplified?
|
||||
- **R**= Reverse/Rearrange: What can be reversed or reordered?
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Six Thinking Hats**
|
||||
[[LLM: Cycle through different thinking modes, spending focused time in each.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- White Hat: Facts and information
|
||||
- Red Hat: Emotions and intuition
|
||||
- Black Hat: Caution and critical thinking
|
||||
- Yellow Hat: Optimism and benefits
|
||||
- Green Hat: Creativity and alternatives
|
||||
- Blue Hat: Process and control
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Mind Mapping**
|
||||
[[LLM: Create text-based mind maps with clear hierarchical structure.]]
|
||||
|
||||
```plaintext
|
||||
Central Concept
|
||||
├── Branch 1
|
||||
│ ├── Sub-idea 1.1
|
||||
│ └── Sub-idea 1.2
|
||||
├── Branch 2
|
||||
│ ├── Sub-idea 2.1
|
||||
│ └── Sub-idea 2.2
|
||||
└── Branch 3
|
||||
└── Sub-idea 3.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Collaborative Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"Yes, And..." Building**
|
||||
[[LLM: Accept every idea and build upon it without judgment. Encourage wild ideas and defer criticism.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- Accept the premise of each idea
|
||||
- Add to it with "Yes, and..."
|
||||
- Build chains of connected ideas
|
||||
- Explore tangents freely
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Brainwriting/Round Robin**
|
||||
[[LLM: Simulate multiple perspectives by generating ideas from different viewpoints.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- Generate ideas from stakeholder perspectives
|
||||
- Build on previous ideas in rounds
|
||||
- Combine unrelated ideas
|
||||
- Cross-pollinate concepts
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Random Stimulation**
|
||||
[[LLM: Use random words, images, or concepts as creative triggers.]]
|
||||
- Random word association
|
||||
- Picture/metaphor inspiration
|
||||
- Forced connections between unrelated items
|
||||
- Constraint-based creativity
|
||||
|
||||
#### Deep Exploration Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Five Whys**
|
||||
[[LLM: Dig deeper into root causes and underlying motivations.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- Why does this problem exist? → Answer → Why? (repeat 5 times)
|
||||
- Uncover hidden assumptions
|
||||
- Find root causes, not symptoms
|
||||
- Identify intervention points
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Morphological Analysis**
|
||||
[[LLM: Break down into parameters and systematically explore combinations.]]
|
||||
|
||||
- List key parameters/dimensions
|
||||
- Identify possible values for each
|
||||
- Create combination matrix
|
||||
- Explore unusual combinations
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Provocation Technique (PO)**
|
||||
[[LLM: Make deliberately provocative statements to jar thinking.]]
|
||||
- PO: Cars have square wheels
|
||||
- PO: Customers pay us to take products
|
||||
- PO: The problem solves itself
|
||||
- Extract useful ideas from provocations
|
||||
|
||||
