Select ideas

(1/1)

bidita:
So you have collected lots of ideas. It’s time to select the best. How do you do that? This depends how many ideas you have and whether you were brainstorming in a group or alone.
In a group

    * Up to 15 ideas? Ask all participants for their absolute favourite and create a top 3.
    * 15 - 40 ideas? Ask all participants for their top 5. Group similar ideas together to create a top 5.
    * Over 40 ideas? Use the COCD box. This is a table where you divide your ideas into three categories:

      1. ordinary ideas that can be implemented (blue ideas) NOW
      2. original ideas that can be implemented (red ideas) WOW
      3. original ideas that cannot (yet) be implemented (yellow ideas) HOW

    *  Everyone selects 4 to 8 blue, red and yellow ideas.
    * Stick blue, red and yellow stickers beside the selected ideas.
    * Place the 10 - 15 ideas with the most stickers (all colours) in the COCD box.
    * Check to make sure that each idea is truly promising and that people support it.
    * See which ideas in the COCD box can be combined.
    * Use the red ideas as a departure point.
    * Combining a red idea with a blue makes it easier.
    * Combining a red idea with yellow provides a long-term perspective.
    * Use this technique to create a ‘fantastic top 5’.

Always keep pen & paper with you. The idea comes naturally & from the environment. So, paper & pen will help you to update your best idea.
