This exercise supports a user-centred approach to product and service innovation. Teams create an imaginary user (a persona), map out an average day in his or her life, and identify the challenges that he or she experiences. Teams then use this to brainstorm new products or services that could help with those challenges. Finally, sketches or prototypes of the best ideas are quickly developed presented back to for feedback.
Quick, easy and democratic way to visually prioritize choices/ideas
As a group is developing ideas in a brainstorming session, it may be useful to do a quick “reality check” on proposed ideas. In the NUF Test, participants rate an idea on three criteria: to what degree is it New, Useful, and Feasible?
This game has been designed to help set the right culture in a group of people and help build mutual trust. It will empower all participants to act upon the results of this game.
Facilitate a team conversation about personal strengths:
Ask participants to pick from a set of strength card, e.g. one strength each for everyone in the group (or more for small groups)
People take turns to “give” a strength to another team member, share how/when they have seen the strength in the other person and say thank you
Everyone will end up with a set of strengths provided by other team members and feel belonging and appreciation
Using the chat in zoom, participants share ideas / challenges and then additions / solutions.
Easy and fun ways to review content or atmosphere at the end or in between group activity, in 2 minutes.
A virtual asynchronous start for an issues or problem solving workshop.
A polling process for any workshop where a decision between several alternatives is hard to reach
Take 5-10 minutes time to wake up group's body & brain!
