Generating Creative and Innovative Ideas: Verifying and Building on Ideas
Overview/Description Target Audience Expected Duration Lesson Objectives Course Number Overview/Description
Generating creative ideas can be a very exciting and motivating process. This is particularly true during the initial stages of idea generation, when many adopt an 'everything is fine' approach. Later, however, the workability of ideas needs to be verified or checked. Ideas are possibly more relevant and useful when they have been assessed in the context of organisational needs, strategies and resources. Some techniques that can help to verify ideas are getting the opinions of important people and using simulations. Building on ideas continues the process of verifying ideas by helping to make those ideas clearer, relevant and feasible. This course covers a variety of techniques used to verify and build on creative ideas. It explains when to use research and when to use simulations to check the workability of an idea. In addition, it discusses ways to build on ideas effectively.
