🎨 Creation Meetings
Collaborative Problem-Solving
This meeting type harnesses collective intelligence to innovate, design solutions, and tackle complex challenges. While open-ended by nature, creation meetings work best when anchored by a clear objective or challenge statement.
The Creation Meeting Process
Problem Framing Start by clearly defining what you're trying to solve. This alignment prevents the discussion from wandering and ensures everyone understands the challenge's scope and impact.
- "What specific issue are we addressing, and why does it matter?"
- "What constraints or parameters should we consider?"
Ideation Generate ideas freely without immediate judgment. Focus on quantity over quality—you'll refine later. Encourage wild ideas and build on others' suggestions.
- "What are all the possible ways we could approach this?"
- "If budget/time weren't constraints, what would we try?"
Discussion & Development Explore promising ideas through open dialogue. Ask clarifying questions, combine concepts, and provide constructive feedback to strengthen potential solutions.
Clustering & Selection Group related ideas and identify the most viable options. Consider feasibility, impact, and alignment with your goals when narrowing down choices.
Action Planning End with concrete next steps, clear ownership, and realistic timelines. Without this, even brilliant ideas rarely move forward.
Best Used For: Product brainstorming, design sprints, marketing campaigns, strategic planning, innovation workshops, and any situation requiring creative problem-solving.
