Effective Brainstorming Goes Beyond Old Techniques
Scaffolding and Concept Blending Are Keys to Breakthrough Ideas
Gregg Fraley is a highly skilled and experienced facilitator. He helps plan and facilitate idea generation sessions. He brings unique and advanced tools to the table.
His sessions are dynamic and fun, but more importantly are effective because he combines best practices with his own advanced ideation creative tools and techniques.
Gregg puts special emphasis into planning sessions and making sure they are properly focused. He uses classic ideation power tools (like Brain Writing and Challenge Mapping) but also new methods that are considered advanced practice. These advanced tools, such as BrainWalks, IdeaKeg interactions, Future Tense Stories, MoshPit, or Digital Technology MoshPit are not available from any other source. Using these tools in your sessions means you’ll have more successful sessions.
Gregg Fraley has facilitated hundreds of sessions across many industries. Sessions are planned down to the minute. It means sessions are designed with solo homework beforehand and collaborative team ideation at the session. He uses “scaffolding” to scale-up thinking to fresh ideas, and uses a technique called concept blends to find new connections, and breakthrough ideas.
He’ll convince you to get more people involved, including outsiders, if that is at all possible. He’ll also suggest that the session start with a virtual session prior to the group day (using an Idea Management System). Some challenges lend themselves well to virtual sessions only. Yes, virtual sessions require facilitation, and Gregg has fresh tools for making virtual sessions more effective.
Organizations like the United Nations, Marquette University, Bosch, Fortune Brands, Kraft, Allstate, and many others have used Gregg to get better ideation results. For more information about design, and pricing, contact Gregg Fraley directly: gregg@greggfraley.com
