IDEATE

Ideation is the mode of design
process in which one concentrates
on idea generation . It represents a
process of “ going wide “ in terms of
concepts and outcomes . It
provides both the fuel and source
of materials for building prototypes
and getting innovative solutions into
the hands of your users.
In IDEATE Phase of
DT
A phase of divergent
thoughts , wild ideas and
exploration of solutions
considering brainstorming
of hundred solutions .
“ It’s not about coming up with
the right idea , its about
generating the broadest range
of possibilities. “

How to Ideate?
Combine conscious and unconscious mind
and rational thoughts with imagination
1
Build new ideas on others’ ideas 2
Separate the generation of ideas from
the evaluation of ideas 3
Give your imagination and creativity a
voice
4
How to Ideate?
entertain “ crazy ideas “
5
Do not ignore ideas that seem obvious or easy .
Any idea can sprout a brilliant concept . 6
Look into each and every idea. 7
Multi disciplinary teams bring across
varied outlooks

Techniques: - is a method
1. Brainstorming
design teams use to generate
ideas to solve clearly defined
Rules problems.
design for effective
brainstorming
Set a time limit – depending on the problem’s
complexity ( 15 to 60 minutes is normal )
Begin with a target problem/ brief – members should
approach this sharply define question , plan or goal and
Rules for effective
brainstorming
Aim for quantity – Remember, “quantity breeds
quality”. The sifting-and- sorting process comes
later.
Build on others’ ideas – It’s a process of association
where members expand on others’ notions and reach
new insights, allowing these ideas to trigger their own.
Say “and”—rather than discourage with “but”—to get
ideas closer to the problem.
Rules for effective
brainstorming
Refrain from judgement / criticism – no one
should be negative (including via body
language ) about any idea.
Encourage weird and wacky ideas – Further to
the ban on killer phrases like “too expensive”,
keep the floodgates open so everyone feels
free to blurt out ideas (provided they’re on
2. Brainwriting?
Brainwriting is an idea generation method. Instead of asking
participants to yell out lots of ideas during your brainstorming
session, the brainwriting technique involves writing them down
Here’s how it works:
•The first person in the group writes their idea down on a sticky note.
•Then it’s someone else’s turn.
•They add their idea to another sticky note, but it can’t be the same as the
idea that’s already been written.
•The group repeats the process for 10–15 minutes.
•The group reviews all the ideas and discusses them.
When to use brainwriting ?
To generate new ideas. Brainwriting is an ideal
technique for teams that want to encourage new ideas.
To create innovative solutions. The entire
brainwriting process encourages original ideas from
every individual.
To encourage everyone to participate. With
brainwriting, everyone gets a chance to have their
voices heard.
3. Scamper
Scamper is a
useful list of
words to help us
think differently
about a problem
ubstitute - What can you substitute ?
What or who could you use instead ?
ombine - What can you combine or bring together ?
dapt - What can you adapt for use as a solution ?
odify - Can you modify or change the item in some ways ?
ut to other Uses – What other or new ways could this be used ?
liminate – What can you get rid of ?
earrange – What could you rearrage or change around
4. Mind mapping
A mind map is
diagram , an easy
way to organize
thoughts. It
allows you to

2. Apply any ideation technique on the problem statement.
3. Generate a sketch, mind map or any illustration that will give
you the visualization of the possible solutions.
