The goal is to transform insight statements into open-ended questions. These questions should suggest multiple approaches and guide brainstorming.

  • "How Might We" questions ready for ideation.

  • Reframed challenges ready for brainstorming.

  • A solid foundation for solution generation.

Use these questions to kick off brainstorming. If the group writes questions with a solution baked in ("How might we build an app that..."), strip the solution out and ask what the app was for. Sometimes a question just doesn't spark ideas: set it aside rather than forcing it. To run it remotely, give each insight its own frame on a shared board, have people add questions as digital notes, and vote on the strongest three before step 4.
