Idea Wall
Description
It is an idea generation tool around complex and abstract issues. Through simple visualisation, it allows groups to create a common understanding of the multiple dimensions and visions around a large issue, notion or subject. It facilitates the analysis of a subject, that is, breaking it down in its smaller components and making the connections among them.
The Idea Wall was created by the students of the Sustainable cities Design Lab Ecole de Design Nantes Atlantique and it has been tested at the International Creative Jams Idea Wall Gijon
Its simplicity makes it a very flexible and powerful tool that can be adapted to different groups, themes but also stages of a creative process.
When is it useful?
It is a very useful tool when starting a creative process around complex subjects that embrace multiple notions, stakes and visions. It is a very good way to put out, clarify and enrich participants' vision on the subject.
It also works great as an icebreaking activity before delving into a prospective or very hands-on creative process.
Participants
Although it can be used individually, it is a very powerful collective tool. Working teams in between 4 & 6 participants are ideal.
