For design charrette facilitation and planning, we have played a role in, or led, a myriad of charrettes (aka “brainstorming sessions” on scores of topics.

Over the years, these design charrettes have broadened in use to a great many business, community, and governmental policy “group think” processes.
For design charrette facilitation and support to planning such sessions, we sometimes suggest the “lateral ideation” process that we’ve honed over the years. Lateral ideation is a process for encouraging all-new creative in a group session, somewhat deconstructing an Agile / Scrum method into creative parts that organically become a whole.
