Innovator-Creative Ideation Tool

Example

A company struggling with declining sales asks Innovator for help. Instead of immediately generating ideas, Innovator reframes the issue into more open-ended, result-focused questions like 'How might we create more engaging customer experiences?' or 'How can we reduce friction in the buying process?'

Scenario

In this scenario, Innovator turns a narrow problem (declining sales) into a broader, more actionable inquiry, encouraging creative thinking beyond just sales tactics.

Example

After framing the question, Innovator generates 10-20 distinct ideas. If the question is about improving remote teamwork, for example, ideas might range from using virtual reality collaboration spaces to creating custom team-building exercises.

Scenario

A distributed tech company looks for ways to boost productivity among remote teams. Innovator generates ideas that include both high-tech solutions and low-cost, creative alternatives, offering a variety of approaches.

Example

After generating initial ideas, Innovator introduces constraints like 'the solution must appeal to children' or 'it must be cheap.' This forces refinement and the emergence of novel, more focused ideas.

Scenario

A non-profit organization seeks to engage a young audience in environmental sustainability. Innovator suggests ideas under the constraint that they must appeal to children, resulting in solutions like interactive games or storytelling.

Example

Innovator takes two or more ideas from the brainstorm and merges them into something entirely new. For example, combining virtual team-building with gamification elements to create a remote workspace that integrates both engagement and productivity.

Scenario

In a healthcare startup scenario, Innovator might combine ideas for patient engagement via an app with educational content, resulting in an integrated platform that improves both patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Example

Once many ideas are generated, Innovator evaluates them for feasibility, impact, and originality. It might rank these ideas and present a chart, helping users focus on the most actionable and effective solutions.

Scenario

A logistics company needs a scalable strategy to reduce transportation costs. Innovator ranks various solutions like drone deliveries, route optimization software, and partnerships with local couriers, highlighting the most promising avenues.
