Discover how sharing works-in-progress can help quickly and efficiently build more robust ideas.

This exercise focuses on group behavior and our reluctance to share works-in-progress. It helps teams understand that we inherently (and unproductively) get possessive and defensive about our ideas. It also helps you learn that being open and communicative helps to make innovation better. This 14-page tool can be used as a warm-up to kick off a larger, more serious discussion. It also works well as an idea-generation tool where teams quickly collaborate to come up with better ideas.
