When done right, one of the most rewarding and fruitful things an EdTech product team can do is rapid ideation. Generating a multitude of solutions to user and business problems in a short period of time can be a key tool to quickly increase user loyalty and sales. But with the daily grind of product development, it can be hard for EdTech teams to find the time to plan and conduct fruitful ideation sessions.
The challenge of conducting successful ideation sessions is often underestimated. Many product teams put off group brainstorming because they don’t know how to select the right exercises, design a run-of-show and moderate an unbiased and judgment-free environment.
Ideal for busy product teams, our rapid ideation sessions enable your team to generate and assess as many potential solutions as possible in a short amount of time, without the time and effort of doing it yourself.
This workshop is designed to:
Prior to your workshop, we will conduct an intake meeting with you to better understand your challenges and team dynamics, as well as assess any research or user data you have gathered. We will then recommend a tailored blend of brainstorming exercises that will best align with your product goals and your team makeup.
Next, we’ll work with you to schedule session dates and set up your itinerary to suit your team’s busy schedules. The 3-Day Ideation Workshop can be conducted in-person at your location or our office in Cincinnati, Ohio, remotely, or a hybrid combination.
Because we know it’s nearly impossible to check out for three full days, workshop activities will be from 9 am – 2 pm leaving your afternoons free, during which time our team will continue to explore ideas for review the following morning.
The 3-day Ideation Workshop can be conducted at your office, our office, remotely or with a hybrid blend of in-person and remote attendees. The day is designed to allow you free time in the afternoons to attend to other product needs while your Openfield team continues to brainstorm ideas for review on the subsequent day. Your team is welcome to continue ideating with us after the 2 pm release time, but they are not required to do so.
Our team will document everything from the workshop in the form of visual assets, design files and a presentation deck that includes commentary, recommended priorities, and next steps. These items will be reviewed and delivered in a 1-hour meeting to be set a week after the workshop concludes.
Workshop Fees: $8,000 USD (travel fees not included).
