How to have great ideas

• In a team. •Greenhouse; suspend judgement.
• One person captures: name it, describe it, •Build ideas: “Yes, and...” not “Yes, but...”
draw it.
•Go wild, have fun.
• One idea at a time.

• Ideas not thoughts. Ideas are actionable.

Which are your favourite ideas?
Every pink heart is a vote of passion / energy for an idea.
