 This is the wrap-up, final episode of our series - the 7th episode in our series about generating ideas with a team toward action. Since the start of 2023, we focused on a few quality tools and methods to both generate ideas and then choose which idea to pursue.

We've talked about:

• Changing our scope to a closed world, to failures or questions, or design heuristics
• Brainstorming within a problem-solving framework
• Grouping many ideas and then further refining them
• Prioritizing many ideas by comparing them to 2 criteria or by using team voting
• Choosing an idea by using paired comparisons or a structured decision-making solution like DMRCS
• Giving individuals a process to create a full design concept

We also interviewed an expert in brainstorming and learned the importance of planning for teamwork, including choosing our team.

What have we learned through the last few weeks? Let's highlight take-aways and next steps.Visit the podcast blog) of this episode for extra notes and links!Previous episodes in our series about generating ideas with our team toward action:
