What Is Solution Ideation?

Apply solution ideation deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that solution ideation directly affects.

Why Does Solution Ideation Matter?

Solution Ideation matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by solution ideation can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying solution ideation may:

  • uses solution ideation deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by solution ideation
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what solution ideation requires

How to Develop Solution Ideation

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where solution ideation is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles solution ideation and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger solution ideation would have changed the result
