# UX I - Ex 6 - Ideation
2 years ago
**Instructions:**
*You can replace Pierre with your own persona.*
The chosen problem statement is: “How might we help Pierre (or your persona) measure and prepare his hydration before a race?”
Now, let’s find creative solutions! Remember, the solution should not be digital! Forget about devices for this quest ;)
Find 3 friends outside of the program and run a quick ideation session (20 minutes).
- What you need for an in-person ideation workshop:
- Prepare some papers or sticky notes, stickers, a jar, and pens.
- A closed room for 20 minutes where everyone feels comfortable
- Directions:
- Ask them to turn off their phones
- Explain the context and introduce Pierre (or your persona)
- Explain the goal:
- Let’s find as many solutions as possible to the question: “How might we help Pierre (or your persona) measure and prepare his hydration before a race?”, given the following contraints (unveil them one after the other: 1 minute per constraint, 1 constraint per round):
- If Pierre was blind
- If Pierre was a bird
- If Pierre was a billionaire
- If Pierre had a twin who was constantly with him
- If Pierre was 5 years old
- If Pierre had 5 arms
- If Pierre was 105 years old
- If Pierre was very clumsy
- If Pierre was very forgetful (and lost memory every 5 minutes)
- If Pierre was deaf
- If Pierre was a turtle
- If Pierre was naked
- If Pierre couldn’t stop talking 24/7
- If Pierre was always late
- If Pierre was dishonest
- Set a timer for each round.
- Ask the participants to do, at each round, the following:
- Write down their ideas on a sticky note (1 idea per sticky note)
- Read them out loud
- Put the sticky note in a jar
- Gather all the ideas.
- Give the participants 3 stickers each and ask them to vote for the best three options.
- If there isn’t a solution that stands out of the crowd, hang them on a board and organize them according to these two parameters: easy to implement and efficient. Example in the resources.
- Choose 1 main idea to solve the problem
**Deliverables:**
- Pictures of the session
- A board with all the ideas (on paper or digitally on Miro or Figma)
- One main idea to solve the problem next to the board
