Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What would most help Amara's meeting?

 

A structure separates generating ideas from judging them.

Lesson 1, Why a team stuck on one idea needs a better method, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

What helps quieter people share ideas?

 

Writing first gives everyone time to think and equal space.

Lesson 4, Grey areas: blockers, loud voices and bad ideas, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

After a brainstorm, what turns an idea into action?

 

Without an owner and a date an idea stays an idea.

Lesson 5, Capture, vote and follow up, teaches this. See the outline
