How to Filter 100+ Ideas in 60 Minutes
Ideation sessions generate too many unactionable ideas? Use this structured filter to find the gold.
About this session
Brainstorming often results in a massive collection of sticky notes that are too overwhelming to act on. This session provides a three-step funnel to strip away the noise and identify the most viable concepts from a list of 100 or more ideas. You will finish the hour with a documented shortlist of priorities that have the full support of the team.
Why it works
The workshop uses successive constraints to force objective decision-making instead of subjective debate. By filtering ideas through specific rounds of evaluation, the group naturally discards low-impact suggestions while building consensus around the strongest options in real-time.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
