00:00:10
here are the seven steps to a creative meeting.
00:00:14
The presentation of the subject,
00:00:19
warming up creativity,
00:00:21
diverging phase,
00:00:23
converging phase,
00:00:24
and concretization.
00:00:26
I will propose a concise description of the seven steps
00:00:30
and the role of the facilitator in each stage.
00:00:35
the presentation of the topic.
00:00:38
Explain to the participants the purpose of the session.
00:00:43
explanation of the rules of creativity to be respected
00:00:47
for a smooth running of the meeting.
00:00:50
Here are some examples of rules deferred judgment,
00:00:54
and self-censorship.
00:00:56
Originality is welcome but not mandatory,
00:01:00
daring to say simple things bounce off other people's ideas,
00:01:05
their strength in numbers.
00:01:07
Respect the time of emergence of ideas and trust each other.
00:01:11
Do not be afraid of silence.
00:01:14
Provide ideas in quantity.
00:01:16
Why not set a number and so on.
00:01:20
offer a game session to help become more
00:01:23
familiar with each other and create an atmosphere.
00:01:27
This is called an icebreaker
00:01:29
to break the ice and go over the
00:01:31
natural inhibition from the beginning of the meeting.
00:01:34
Here is an icebreaker proposed on Wikipedia and tested.
00:01:38
Put all the participants in a circle,
00:01:40
12 people maximum.
00:01:42
Each person will have to take turns giving 3 statements,
00:01:46
2 that are true and one that is false.
00:01:49
The others will have to find the one that is false.
00:01:52
A ball is passed around between the people and serves as a talking stick.
00:01:57
The facilitator begins to set the example in the tone.
00:02:02
I've been to Sri Lanka twice.
00:02:04
I have 3 brains.
00:02:05
I woke up late this morning.
00:02:07
Other people will ask for the ball
00:02:09
so that they can ask questions and make their proposals.
00:02:13
The person who finds the false statement throws the ball
00:02:16
to the person of his or her choice who in turn
00:02:20
will have to give the next three statements.
00:02:22
The affirmations will become more and more
00:02:25
surprising as the participants go along,
00:02:28
and everyone will learn information about the other
00:02:31
participants that will become topics of discussion later.
00:02:35
Another idea of Icebreaker,
00:02:38
is to give the group an orange.
00:02:40
You tell them you have an orange,
00:02:42
and I'm asking you to make sure it goes through all the hands as quickly as possible.
00:02:47
And you time each new attempt by telling them they can be faster.
00:02:51
At the last attempt,
00:02:53
the participants created a slide with their hands connected together.
00:02:58
Some of them climbed on chairs.
00:03:00
Others sat on the floor,
00:03:01
rolling orange from top to bottom in a few microseconds.
00:03:07
Take a warm up lap to warm up your brain and start the creative process.
00:03:12
A few simple games can open up the creative brain.
00:03:16
Propose a rebus puzzle.
00:03:19
Make paper pots and pans.
00:03:21
Make people guess an object they can think of in the room.
00:03:25
Ask them to connect 4 lines without lifting the
00:03:29
pencil from the 9 dots in the drawing below.
00:03:32
You have to go out of the box to find solutions.
00:03:37
make a mini creative writing workshop.
00:03:40
Everyone writes the 1st 5 words that come to mind
00:03:43
on a piece of paper without filtering them out.
00:03:46
Give the sheet to your neighbor
00:03:48
who has 2 minutes to produce 5 new words based on the previous words.
00:03:54
Recover your initial sheet
00:03:56
and produce another 5 words inspired by the 10 preceding words.
00:04:00
Read the fruit of these fickle writings aloud in an.
00:04:06
sleepwalking butterfly,
00:04:08
ebony glow consciousness.
00:04:10
Be quiet after each reading.
00:04:12
Let yourself go daydreaming.
00:04:15
I suggest background music which will open up your
00:04:18
right brain even more during writing and reading aloud.
00:04:22
You can also propose a riddle with 20 questions to answer.
00:04:26
Here are two examples to note on the flip chart puzzle one.
00:04:30
A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water.
00:04:35
The owner pulls out a gun and points it at our character.
00:04:39
The man says thank you and walks out of the bar.
00:04:43
Guess what happened.
00:04:47
At the beginning of the 19th century in a posh part of London at around 9 p.m.,
00:04:54
Romeo and Juliet were found dead on the living
00:04:56
room carpet with pieces of glass beside them.
00:05:00
Guess what happened?
00:05:02
they're goldfish.
00:05:05
The diverging phase where the facilitator guides the participants to open.
00:05:12
the mind wanders freely,
00:05:14
judgments suspended,
00:05:16
and imagination reigns supreme.
00:05:18
This is the phase of producing ideas in small or large groups.
00:05:23
Brainstorming is the basic form.
00:05:27
you can set up a visual brainstorming session.
00:05:31
With several tracks previously proposed by the facilitator,
00:05:35
let's imagine a brainstorming on the subject,
00:05:37
setting up creative meetings in the department.
00:05:40
The facilitator sticks 6 different colored headings to the craft paper on the wall.
00:05:51
and a final out of the box heading.
00:05:54
The participants gradually paste Post-it notes with their
00:05:58
ideas inside each of the six boxes.
00:06:02
While the participants are freely pasting the
00:06:05
Post-it notes without any order of constraints,
00:06:07
the facilitator starts grouping them by sub themes.
00:06:11
From time to time,
00:06:13
the facilitator may break the silence and comment on groupings
00:06:17
and ideas in order to stimulate imagination and production.
00:06:21
We will see the continuation of this visual.
00:06:23
Brainstorming in the last two phases.
00:06:27
the convergent phase where participants progress towards ideas and solutions.
00:06:34
the production of ideas comes second.
00:06:36
It is more about converging ideas.
00:06:39
Participants gather around the tables,
00:06:42
they comment on the ideas found,
00:06:44
question the authors,
00:06:45
and make new ideas groupings.
00:06:49
all the ideas and all the different categories are summarized.
00:06:53
You can also in this convergent phase retain the most relevant ideas,
00:06:59
by having participants vote with colored stickers.
00:07:02
Phase seven concretization.
00:07:05
The end of the creative meeting always sees a plan of action.
00:07:09
If the subject is simple,
00:07:11
you can directly transform the relevant ideas that
00:07:14
have been retained into an action plan.
00:07:16
You will note on the flip chart
00:07:19
who does what and by when.
00:07:22
Sometimes the relevant ideas will need to be thought through,
00:07:26
and turned into an action plan.
00:07:29
divide the retained ideas into subgroups for reflection.
00:07:34
Each pair or trio will present to the group the implementation of the ideas.
00:07:40
The group will enrich the ideas and decide on the final action plan.
00:07:47
here are the 7 steps for facilitation of a creative meeting,
00:07:52
presentation of the subject,
00:07:55
the icebreaking game,
00:07:57
the creative warm up,
00:07:59
the diverging phase,
00:08:01
the converging phase,
00:08:02
and concretization.
