Beyond Brainstorming: Tapping Your Inner Innovator

In this session, we challenge the notion that innovation is the sole domain of “creative” types and introduce a tool called the Lotus Blossom. The Lotus Blossom helps people go beyond traditional brainstorming by centering ideas around a central question, themes related to that question, and specific actions to take related to each theme. When brainstorming, we often get stuck in our first set of ideas. The Lotus Blossom helps us move through and beyond the first set of ideas and ends with a beautiful flower full of possibilities.
