Why and When Use It
the creative process is not always easy (problems
of fear, criticism, no existing solutions yet)
one person has a limited capacity
people tend to judge new ideas immediately (a
change is difficult for a human being)

How does it work
in a group of people
free associations to the topic given
relaxed and friendly atmosphere
deferred judgements release the human
mind, lateral thinking

COLOURFUL CARDS
When?

about our managers, company?)
How?
- a set of papers / person (smaller pieces, A4/3 or 3M), colours as
needed, for example yellow and green

per card, yellow positive, green negative
- glue the cards on the flip chart, grouping immediately similar
