Today, we will explore the protocols for effective brainstorming. Can anyone share what you think brainstorming is?
I think it's when people come together to generate ideas.
Exactly! It's about generating a variety of ideas. We will focus on *structured brainstorming* today. Why do you think structure is important in brainstorming?
It might help keep everyone focused and organized.
That's right! Structure helps us go through ideas systematically. One of our first tools is the starter stimuli, which includes images, quotes, and videos to ignite creative thinking. Let's remember 'SIV'โImages, Quotes, Videos. Repeat it, 'SIV'!
SIV!
Great! Now, what would be the benefit of using stimuli?
It can inspire different perspectives.
Absolutely! Letโs move into how we can structure our sessions with time-boxed rounds.
Time-Boxed Rounds in Brainstorming

In today's brainstorming, we utilize *time-boxed rounds*. Have you heard of this method before?
Is that when you set a timer for each activity?
Exactly! Weโll spend 0 to 2 minutes in free writing, then cluster ideas from 2 to 4 minutes, and finally share rapidly from 4 to 6 minutes. It keeps creativity alive and active. Can anyone see how this might help?
It makes sure no one dominates the conversation, and everyone gets a chance to think!
Precisely! It encourages everyone to contribute. Let's remember: '3-0-2,' 0 minutes for setup, 2 minutes for each segment. Repeat after me: '3-0-2!'
3-0-2!
Now, letโs explore the audio cues that can help during these transitions!

Weโve discussed the rounds; now letโs talk about using audio cues. Why do you think sound can enhance our brainstorming experience?
It can signal a change, so people know when to move on to the next part.
Exactly! It creates a smooth flow. Does anyone have ideas on types of sounds we could use?
Maybe a bell for starting and stopping each section?
Or a timer beep!
Great ideas! Remember, using cues will help in managing time effectively during brainstorming. Letโs summarize our session. What are the main takeaways?
Use stimuli, 3-0-2 method for timing, and audio cues!

Brainstorm Protocols
This section elaborates on the protocols for effective brainstorming, a critical step in the ideation phase of developing ideas. It emphasizes the significance of structured approaches to enhance creativity and generate a wide array of ideas. The protocols encompass various starter stimuli intended to inspire participants, including a curated deck of 20 images, 10 quotes, and 5 short videos, all designed to activate diverse thought processes. The approach also employs a time-boxed structure for each brainstorming round, consisting of three segments: free writing for two minutes, clustering ideas for another two minutes, and rapid sharing of insights for the final two minutes. By incorporating audio cues, these segments help maintain focus and facilitate a dynamic flow of ideas. Overall, the section reinforces the premise that organized brainstorming can lead to more effective and thorough ideation.

Starter Stimuli

- Curated photo deck of 20 images, 10 quotes, 5 short videosโall under 30s each.
Detailed Explanation
Starter stimuli refer to a collection of materials designed to spark creativity during brainstorming sessions. This collection includes 20 images, which are visual cues, 10 quotes that can inspire ideas, and 5 short videos that provide additional inspiration. Each video is limited to under 30 seconds to ensure they can be quickly consumed. The goal of these stimuli is to provide diverse sources of inspiration that can help participants generate new ideas and approaches.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're trying to come up with a new ice cream flavor. You might look through a collection of images showcasing exotic fruits, read quotes from famous chefs about creativity in cooking, and watch a quick video about unique desserts from around the world. This combination helps you to think outside the box and generates exciting ideas for flavors that you havenโt considered before.
Time-Boxed Rounds with Audio Cues

- Timeโboxed Rounds with audio cues: 0:00โ2:00 free write; 2:00โ4:00 cluster; 4:00โ6:00 rapid share.
Detailed Explanation
Time-boxed rounds are structured segments of time during which specific activities are carried out. This particular protocol consists of three phases: First, participants have 2 minutes (0:00โ2:00) to 'free write', where they jot down any ideas that come to mind without filtering or editing. Next, from 2:00 to 4:00, they 'cluster' those ideas, organizing them into groups based on similar themes or concepts. Finally, from 4:00 to 6:00, they 'rapid share', where participants quickly present their ideas to the group. The use of audio cues helps keep participants aware of the time limits and moving efficiently through each phase.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a cooking show where contestants only have a limited time to create a dish. They spend the first few moments brainstorming ingredients (free writing), then group similar ingredients together (clustering), and finally present their dish ideas to the judges (rapid share). This method ensures that all contestants can share their creative processes while maintaining a dynamic and engaging atmosphere.
