Moving into Opportunity Areas

  1. Determine the opportunity area where you want to work.

​

  • Locate the “design studio” spot in the room assigned to that opportunity area

​

  • Join the people in that area to form a new group

​

DESIGN Phase #1: �Brainstorming "How Might We…?”

18 of 37

Brainstormer Rules (pg. 27)

​

  • Defer judgment—don’t criticize
  • Encourage wild ideas
  • Go for quantity
  • Be visual
  • Build on the ideas of others
  • One idea at a time
  • Shout it out so others can hear

​

Self-Management & Group Roles

Brainstorm Facilitator–Helps to uphold the brainstorming rules & raises questions to keep the brainstorming moving. Challenges the group to go for quantity; encourage all voices!�

Timekeeper – Keeps group aware of time left. �

​

Brainstorm Radical – Helps to challenge the group to contribute bold, wild ideas.

Step 2: Clarify for Prototyping

  • Sort and organize your brainstormer into themes
  • Prioritize ideas
  • Narrow down to 1 or 2 ideas to move forward for prototyping (use dots to vote if needed)
  • Record on a flip chart (or take a picture) of all your ideas so they are archived

​

Rapid Prototyping Principles

  • Create a tangible representation of your initiative idea (consider the Anita Roddick story).
  • Make it visual: storyboard, diagram, model, chart, a mash-up, book, day in the life, etc.
  • You can mockup anything: educational materials, products, services, organizational designs, processes, spaces, experiences, partnerships, etc.
  • Go fast, avoid paralysis—you can always revise…No frills—don’t sweat the looks

Prototyping Guidelines: Page 28

  • Build the idea to life
  • Make it 3-dimensional
  • Use any available materials
  • Consider things like:

​

  • Drawings
  • Video or a skit— “a day in the life”
  • Storyboard
  • 3-D model
  • Web platform (design it)
  • Business proposal
  • Resource (like a book…create it)

​

REMEMBER: YOU MAY BREAK INTO SUBGROUPS TO TO BUILD DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF THE PROTOTYPE.
