HUMANS ARE BAD AT FREE ASSOCIATION.
HAVING A question PROVIDES CONTEXT, CLUES AND SUGGESTIONS TO HELP
THE FLOW OF IDEAS.

EUREKA MOMENTS ARE VERY RARE

ideation process IS A COMBINATION OF REFLECTION TIME AND CONNECTING WITH
OTHERS TO SHARE IDEAS.

Steven Johnson wrote a book about the natural history of innovation. In it, he discusses how the ideation process is actually a combination of reflection time and connecting with others to share ideas. Watch his TED talk on where good ideas come from.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT WITH EVERY IDEA THAT WE SEE IMPLEMENTED, THE LIKELIHOOD THAT OUR FUTURE IDEAS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED ALSO GOES UP.

ON THE OTHER HAND, WE DON’T LEARN FROM FAILED IDEAS OR IDEAS
THAT DON’T GET IMPLEMENTED.

BRAINSTORMING IS NOT A GOOD SOURCE OF IDEAS (UNLESS IT’S USED PROPERLY)

BRAINSTORMING DOES NOT INCREASE THE QUANTITY OF IDEAS.
THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING UP WITH IDEAS INDIVIDUALLY WILL ALWAYS PRODUCE MORE IDEAS

BRAINSTORMING IS A GREAT WAY TO HELP THE LATER STAGES OF IDEATION TO COMBINE IDEAS INTO THEMES THAT LEAD TO EVEN BETTER IDEAS

LET’S BOIL DOWN WHAT WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT GETTING GOOD IDEAS:
Ideation is like learning kungfu - you need to practice and improve the skill to get better ideas
A good question will help ideas flow by providing context and cues
Good ideas need time and feedback from others
We come up with better ideas by seeing other implemented ideas
Use brainstorming to fuse ideas together rather than source ideas
