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.
