How to use the Brainwriting template

  1. 1

    Ground Rules

    This is a safe space for openly sharing ideas:

    • Listen with an open mind

    • Remember everyone’s opinion is valid

    • Focus on generating ideas, not judging them

  2. 2

    Frame the problem

    Define and share a clear topic or theme. This will be the focus for the brainstorm.

  3. 3

    Brainstorm

    Add your name to a sticky note. Set the timer for 5 minutes and individually brainstorm an idea for the problem.

  4. 4

    Rinse and repeat

    Start the timer again, move to the idea on your right. Add or improve upon that idea. Do this vertically. Think of it as an idea + 1. Repeat the process for a few rounds.

  5. 5

    Discuss and vote

    Discuss all the ideas you came up with. Vote on ideas or group them to see which are the most feasible.
