Storyboarding is about arranging and categorizing ideas and solutions in a linear format and order. It’s best done after brainstorming to generate ideas. Gather previously brainstormed ideas and solutions on post-it notes on the wall or coloured cards on the floor or large table.

especially if your team is predominantly introverts. Give each participant a sheet of paper and ask them to generate three ideas in five minutes. Pass all papers to the right. Ask each participant to build on his colleague’s ideas, improving them or using them as inspiration to generate another three ideas. Continue passing papers to the right until they reach their original participant.

When each “pass” takes place, Mattimore points out, the facilitator can suggest different ideation techniques or triggers.

Let your imagination run wild – the crazier the ideas, the better. Don’t restrict your thinking at all.
