To gather new ideas we did a normal brainstorming session at the beginning of our group meeting. At this session we asked a specific question (“How to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in traffic for Alcoi?”), so the aim was clear and simple since we already know the topic very well. Everybody thought freely about solutions that Alcoi could benefit from. As a next step we cleared the table and everybody proposed their ideas, similar ideas were clustered. Afterwards, when everybody had a good overview, we started a second phase of brainstorming.
As the next method we used “8x8”, because we thought with the eight different categories we are close to our project since we have a lot of different stakeholders or areas that need to be considered. We sorted the ideas we had before into the different categories, some adjustments were to be made to fit the ideas more to their topic. To complete the second phase we made another brainstorming session, but in a group instead of individually like before. Doing that we had at least eight ideas per category. Having a free table with all the ideas on, helps brainstorming a lot because everybody can walk around the table to get a good overview about all the different suggestions.
After taking a break we started our last approach with a fresh mind. Our last approach was much more focused on feasibility. We looked at the ideas already created and tried to combine them in a way that would make a feasible, logical and more developed idea. With the last ideas we created we can work further on and develop them deeper.
