Quickfire Eights

What is it?

 An exercise that challenges people to create eight distinct ideas in eight (or less) minutes. The goal is to push beyond your first idea and generate a wide variety of solutions to your challenge. 

After sketching your 8 ideas, write up the best ideas using the idea template.

When to use it?

In your ideation workshops, as an individual exercise. You can use this early on when you are focused on creating lots of ideas rather than on the quality of ideas. 

Don't forget: You need a problem. This is the reason behind your challenge.
