Filling the Idea Gap to unlock team creativity.

The Myth: Magic Happens

Many teams struggle to generate great ideas.

Most companies believe brainstorming does not require a skill or expertise. Just throw people in a room with sticky notes and a flip chart and then POOF! Magic Happens

The Reality: An Idea Gap

The reality is: if employees are not trained to lead or participate in brainstorming, you create an idea gap.

The idea gap is the gap between the potential of the brainstorming team and the ideas generated.

Filling the Idea Gap

Brainstorming with Da Vinci is designed to fill the idea gap. The approach focuses on four things:

  • Set up a session for success
  • Inspire teams to think different
  • Take a team’s brainstorming to the next level
  • And generate actionable idea

Brainstorming is an art
not an exercise.

The Da Vinci Approach

The Da Vinci approach is focused on two things: creating a positive collaborative culture and teaching people how to lead successful brainstorming sessions.

Create a Positive Collaborative Culture
Great ideas are consistently generated by a positive collaborative culture. The Da Vinci approach is designed to foster this cultural approach. To give employees the tools to positively work with others and affect the organization.

We train people on how to lead a successful brainstorming session. The Da Vinci methods will help you architect a session to focus your team, inspire them, elevate their thinking to the next level, and if need be, shake it up a bit.

BWD Blog

Our on-going take on brainstorming benefits and challenges.

We all know all employees are the same. Yet, many times when we develop programs or employee experiences, we homogenize them – a one size fits all approach. The persona is an approach to expand our thought process to empathetically look at a problem or solution from different employee perspectives.
The Disruptors. Whether you are running a brainstorming session or an important meeting, there can be people who disrupt the flow of the session and potentially the outcome. A crucial step in setting up a session (or a meeting) is understanding participant personalities and choreographing the session to ensure success. In other words, you need to mitigate the disruptor.
Offsites should be energizing, invigorating, inspiring, collaborating, and (INSERT your own active tense verb!). To accomplish this, planning is needed to ensure the right group dynamics to make your offsite a success. BWD methods are designed to energize!
