Ideation and co-creation
Generating ideas with your team
When a team is going round in circles, a well-run workshop changes everything: a well-framed question, creativity methods and outside perspectives. At Böllhoff, 19 solution concepts emerged in a few hours; at FELCO, new packaging was chosen from more than 20 designs.

In their words
What our clients say
“With the input of Think2Make, we managed in few hours to create 19 concepts of solutions for our problems. Without their help, we would have only slightly dealt the innovation processes. In other words, the results would have been far less refreshing and we would have needed much more time to accomplish what we wanted. In addition to the innovation aspect, the session turned out to be very helpful as a team building day.”
“For our future packaging, we contacted Think2Make. At first, it seemed to me that their team didn't have much experience in this domain. However, they proved us that their approach has no limits when it comes to different fields and that they are efficient no matter what. They reunited the whole committee working on the project, as well as their external experts from divers industries. Thanks to their method, they proposed us incredible prototypes of packaging and a final solution that was retained among 20 designs. They showed a lot of creativity.”
“Our challenge was of big scale :bring new products to maturity, while dividing by 2 the needed time of production. The techniques of creativity brought by Think2Make, as well as the perspectives of their external experts, enabled us to go to the next level. We developed more creative projects for our organisation and successfully elaborated 3 cutting-edge solutions to answer to our client's need more quickly.”

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
Isn’t a brainstorming session enough?
Rarely on its own. The quality of ideas depends on the starting question, the diversity of participants and the method: we choose from more than 150 methods and tools to suit your situation.
Do we have to tie up the whole team for weeks?
No. Workshops are concentrated on a few half-days or days; in between, the team carries on with its usual work.
What happens to the ideas after the workshop?
We help you select the best ones, prototype them and then implement them, with active support for up to 3 months.
Do you work in our sector?
We work in industry, medical and public administration, in R&D, marketing, strategy and HR. The case studies give examples.
How is the budget set?
It depends on the duration, the number of participants and the number of workshops. You receive a precise quote after a first conversation.
A question going round in circles?
A first 30-minute conversation, free and with no commitment: you describe your situation, we tell you frankly whether and how we can help.
