... Abstract During the engineering design process, group idea generation is often used to search the solution space before committing resources to the development of new products and services. The study presented investigates how trained facilitation using a brainstorming approach impacts the idea...

... during creative idea generation. Fluency, flexibility, the degree of copying, and the time spent generating ideas were used to evaluate the design performance and fixation level of each participant, and the task-related power changes of theta, alpha, and beta bands of participants with higher and lower...

... Blocks are potentially risky during team meetings, because they obstruct the flow of discussion. However, certain styles of Blocks, as classified using A-I Theory, may be better suited to idea generation and thus, be worth the risk. This paper addresses the following questions: (1) Can IDN Blocks...

... Abstract Creative ideas are a central part of solving engineering problems, generating interesting art, as well as developing successful products and innovations. Idea generation methods are a well-researched topic. Specifically, there is significant research that focuses on specific idea...

... that could have an impact in idea generation early on in the design process. As a first step to address this gap, an Information Archetypes Framework was developed in previous work to outline the different dimensions and levels of information commonly used by designers. This framework forms the basis...

... Abstract Idea generation is an integral part of creative problem solving that happens in all businesses developing products — whether they were services or physical products. Idea generation methods have been studied against one another to create an understanding on how to produce most novel...

... 21 03 2011 Engineering idea generation is a critical part of new product development and physical models are one tool used in this phase of design. Unfortunately, few guidelines about the effective use of physical models to support idea generation exist. The advantages...
