Idea Storm Activity Template

—

The Idea Storm activity is a high-energy brainstorming session aimed at cranking out a ton of ideas quickly. Forget quality—it's all about quantity! This method frees participants to let their creativity flow without stressing over whether each idea is good or not. It's perfect for teams stuck on challenges or hunting for fresh solutions, especially creative pros, product developers, and project managers.

Here's how it works: start by brainstorming solutions to set challenges and jotting them down on sticky notes. Then, organize those notes on a board for everyone to review and vote on the most impactful ideas with the least effort. You can even rearrange the notes based on the votes to visualize results.

In short, Idea Storm creates a collaborative vibe that sparks creativity and speeds up idea generation—an essential tool for any team ready to innovate and tackle problems head-on.
