In this ideation workshop, we start with a warmup exercise to practice the following skills: Structured independent brainstorming with sticky notes, the "check-in" method of team discussion and sharing, and the process of organizing sticky notes into categories. In the second part, we ideate problems each person wants to solve in the FinTech realm, and go through the check-in process for sharing. Participants then classify the ideas, down select to 2, then practice the "yes, and" rule in building on those 2 ideas.
