I mentioned Gamestorming a few days ago and had a few queries about it.
Gamestorming is a “Toolkit” of activities and guidelines for creating an environment where creativity and innovation can flourish. Popularised by the book of the same name by Dave Gray, published by O’Reilly.
It’s Brainstorming focused onto specific outcomes, with a large dose of play thrown in.
Some of the Techniques are old ones, some are new. What is great is the understanding of the structure or flow of a session. From Openers or Divergent Thinking, through Exploring or Emergent Thinking and finally into Closing or Convergent Thinking.
Now, most brainstorming and creative thinking facilitators would do this naturally but its a great overview for those new to the field.
With a bit of study of the book and the Website I’m sure anyone could use some of these techniques with your group. Alternatively I’d be happy to run a session for you.
