Zielsetzung:
Wie es verwendet wird:
- Small cards that are used to write down ideas during a brainstorming session or ideation workshop. They typically have a pre-defined format, such as a title, a description, and a sketch, which helps to ensure that ideas are captured in a clear and consistent way.
Vorteile
- Simple and easy to use; Encourages participation and helps to organize ideas.
Nachteile
- Can be difficult to manage and synthesize a large number of cards; May not be suitable for complex ideas.
Kategorien:
- Ideenfindung
Am besten geeignet für:
- Capturing and organizing ideas in a brainstorming session or workshop.
Idea Cards can be effectively utilized across various stages of product development, particularly during the ideation phase of design thinking workshops, where collaboration among cross-functional teams is imperative. They facilitate not only the generation but also the categorization and prioritization of concepts, making them valuable tools in sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive design, healthcare innovation, and even software development. In these environments, participants such as product managers, designers, engineers, and marketing specialists collaborate to refine ideas further, assessing their feasibility and market potential. This method encourages diverse contributions, as each participant can write down their thoughts independently and share them with the group, which nurtures a culture of innovation while minimizing the intimidation that may come from more open discussion formats. For example, in a healthcare design workshop, stakeholders might utilize Idea Cards to address patient experience improvements, sketching solutions for care delivery challenges or ways to enhance user interface design in medical devices. The simplicity and structure provided by Idea Cards ensures that all contributions are documented uniformly, making it easier to refer back to these ideas later in the design process, such as during prototyping or testing phases, ultimately driving toward more informed decision-making.
Die wichtigsten Schritte dieser Methodik
- Define the prompts or challenges that will guide the idea generation.
- Provide each participant with a set number of Idea Cards.
- Encourage participants to write down their ideas on the cards, including a title, description, and sketch.
- Set a time limit for idea generation to keep the session focused.
- Instruct participants to share their cards with the group, explaining each idea briefly.
- Facilitate a discussion on the ideas, allowing for clarifications and questions.
- Categorize similar ideas together to identify themes and patterns.
- Select the most promising ideas for further development through consensus or voting.
- Iterate on the selected ideas, refining details and potential applications on new Idea Cards.
Profi-Tipps
- Incorporate a multi-dimension approach by categorizing cards into themes or challenges during brainstorming to enhance focus and track patterns.
- Implement time constraints for idea development on cards to encourage concise thinking and drive rapid innovation.
