Transcript for Episode #005: Creative Problem Solving Stage 2 – Ideate
Amy Climer: In today’s episode, you’re going to learn new techniques for coming up with lots of ideas.
Welcome to episode #5 of the Deliberate Creative Podcast. On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the second stage of the Creative Problem Solving Process, which is the Ideate Stage. First, I want to share with you a personal story. I record the Deliberate Creative Podcast ahead of time and set it all up. It’s not recorded live as you probably already know. Earlier today, I recorded the entire episode and transferred the file to my computer only to realize I didn’t plug in the mic! I had a 45-minute file of complete silence. It was quite entertaining. So here we are, round two. Hopefully, this will be a good one and I’m excited because I love the Ideation Stage.
In the previous episode, we went through the Clarify Stage of the Creative Problem Solving Process, which is the first step to generating and coming up with innovative ideas and innovative solutions. If you followed along, you should have a challenge statement at this point and you’re ready to generate lots of ideas to come up with an innovative solution. In this episode, I’m going to explain three different techniques to generate ideas and we’re going to move beyond that typical brainstorming process. In the end, you’ll have dozens, if not hundreds, of new ideas. To help you move to this process, I have put together a free workbook for you all and you can download that workbook at ClimerConsulting.com/005. All right, are you all ready? Let’s ideate!
The first thing you need before diving into an ideation session is you’re going to need a few supplies. You’ll need these supplies if you’re generating the ideas alone or if you’re with a team. We’re going to talk through which supplies you need for which situation. If you’re working alone,
