Brainwriting

Use this template to create new ideas, encourage problem-solving, and develop innovative solutions in your teams. Instead of discussing out loud, brainwriting encourages sharing ideas in a silent, thoughtful, and inclusive way.

How to use the Brainwriting template

Ground Rules

This is a safe space for openly sharing ideas:

  • Listen with an open mind

  • Remember everyone’s opinion is valid

  • Focus on generating ideas, not judging them

Step 1: Frame the problem

Define and share a clear topic or theme. This will be the focus for the brainstorm.

Step 2: Brainstorm

Add your name to a sticky note. Set the timer for 5 minutes and individually brainstorm an idea for the problem.

Step 3: Rinse and repeat

Start the timer again, move to the idea on your right. Add or improve upon that idea. Do this vertically. Think of it as an idea + 1.
Repeat the process for a few rounds.

Step 4: Discuss and vote

Discuss all the ideas you came up with. Vote on ideas or group them to see which are the most feasible.
