Idea Generation Methods
Idea generation methods are techniques used to create new ideas or solutions. Common approaches include brainstorming, where a group shares thoughts freely; mind mapping, which visually organizes ideas around a central concept; and SCAMPER, which prompts you to Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, or Reverse elements of an existing idea. Other methods include group discussions and research to inspire creativity. These techniques encourage diverse thinking and collaboration, making it easier to develop innovative concepts or tackle problems effectively.
