How to Run a Brainstorming Session with Creately?
- Gather a team of relevant people who can contribute to solve the problem or make the decision with their experience and skills.
- Select a facilitator for the brainstorming session. The moderator should clarify the purpose of the session and explain the problem the team needs to overcome.
- Brainstorm ideas or suggestions within a given time limit. The team members can do it individually or as a group. Make use of brainstorming templates and brainstorming charts to capture and develop ideas.
- Organize the ideas generated on an affinity diagram. This will help you categorize, organize and summarize all the ideas.
- Together with the team, review and discuss the ideas on your affinity diagram. Invite any remote team member to contribute with Creately’s real-time collaboration features.
- Select the best options out of the generated ideas. You can use a risk/reward analysis to identify which one you should prioritize.
- Create an action plan to implement the agreed and prioritized ideas and changes and decisions and decide on a timeline. Once deployed, monitor and measure results.
- You can share the created diagrams with the rest of your organization using the Creately Viewer. Or export them as images or PDFs to add to your PowerPoint presentations or Word documents.
