CPS Tools
At the end of every workshop we will inevitably get asked how people can take some of what they learned back to the office for everyday use. Here are a few of the most requested activities.
Clarify Phase
Mind Mapping
Ever feel like your brainstorming sessions hit a wall? Mind Mapping is a powerful tool that helps teams visually organize thoughts, uncover connections, and generate fresh ideas—all while making the creative process more dynamic and engaging.
Ideate Phase
Forced Conenctions
Sometimes, the best ideas come from the most unexpected places. When a team is stuck in familiar thinking patterns, Forced Connections is one of our go-to creativity techniques to break out of the rut and generate truly novel solutions.
Develop Phase
PPCo Feedback
PPCO (Pluses, Potentials, Concerns, Overcomes) is a simple but powerful tool that helps teams evaluate ideas constructively—without shutting them down too soon.
PPCo is our most requested tool and a staple at many of our workshops. Click the image to learn more.
Implement Phase
Assisters and Resistors
Every big idea or initiative faces two forces: those that push it forward and those that hold it back. If you can identify and manage both, you dramatically increase your chances of success. That’s where the Assisters & Resistors tool comes in.
