The two parts of the ideation process

The two parts of the ideation process

The whole process of producing ideas doesn't end when an idea is generated. Ideation should be followed by an evaluation part.

  • Idea generation: it means coming up different ways to solve a problem. The focus here is on quantity.
  • Idea evaluation: it means evaluating how relevant each idea (solution) is. The focus in this this stage is on quality.

Keeping a balanced creative process

Balancing idea generation with idea evaluation is critical to the creative process.

  • Set the criteria you'll use in your evaluation.
  • Gather the information you need and resist the temptation to rely solely on your intuition.
  • Find an evaluation framework that might work for you.
  • Be sure to have enough time for the second phase of ideation (evaluation).
  • Monitor your ideas of choice to make sure they are really best solutions you could have picked.
