Give each participant a sheet of A4 paper ruled off into eight sections. Set a timer for five minutes and ask each participant to fill six to eight of the sections with rough sketches. Put all the sheets on the wall then give each participant two stickers to put on his or her two favourite ideas.
If I were a participant, I would feel overwhelmed having to share so much information in such a short time and then present it to my colleagues right after.

Next, randomly combine one word from each list and spend time brainstorming around the mini-story they suggest.
I really like how this strategy pushes people to think outside the box. But I do have concerns about how efficient it is because it depends on “randomly combining” ideas.
