In our culture, a serious ice-breaking is needed before participant warm up enough to generate and share their ideas. <br />2) connecting, sorting, grouping, discarding, prioritizing the ideas(concepts/thought collected during the first phase. Mindmap is a good tool to document the results of the second phase, no doubt. <br /><br />If you are familiar with de Bono's lateral thinking approach and Six Thinking Hats technique, then you could envisage all participant wearing yellow and green hats in the first phase and switching to black and blue hats in the second phase.Marthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404476122494382384noreply@blogger.com
