- Six Thinking Hats
Explore every angle with this method that assigns different hats (White, Yellow, Black, Red, Green, Blue) to represent different thinking styles. Let ChatGPT help you switch hats and analyze your ideas comprehensively. For more ways to leverage AI, explore 20 menial tasks ChatGPT handles in seconds.
"You're facing a difficult decision about [insert situation]. Analyze it from every angle using the Six Thinking Hats: White Hat (facts), Yellow Hat (optimism), Black Hat (risks), Red Hat (emotions), Green Hat (creativity), and Blue Hat (managing the process).”

- Disney Method
Dream it, Realize it, Criticise it! This three-stage method encourages creative freedom followed by practical evaluation and refinement. Use ChatGPT to generate wild ideas, assess feasibility, and identify potential roadblocks. For a deeper dive into AI's capabilities, check out Deliberating on the Many Definitions of Artificial General Intelligence.
“Imagine a world where [insert desirable outcome]. Now, brainstorm wildly as the Dreamer, then assess feasibility as the Realist, and finally refine ideas with the Critic's eye.”

- Lotus Blossom Technique
Dive deep into complex issues with this fractal-like approach. Start with a central problem, then branch out into related themes, and use ChatGPT to explore every layer and uncover hidden opportunities.
“Start with [insert central theme]. Branch out into eight related aspects, then delve deeper with another layer of ideas for each branch. Explore every nook and cranny of the topic.”

- Charrette Procedure
Collaborate in real-time with this intensive workshop format that brings together diverse stakeholders. ChatGPT can help you structure the process, facilitate discussions, and capture ideas effectively. The National Charrette Institute provides extensive resources on this collaborative design process here.
“Simulate a mini-workshop around [insert challenge] with diverse stakeholders. Divide into groups, brainstorm within a fixed timeframe, present ideas, and refine collaboratively.”

- Morphological Analysis
Tackle multi-variable problems with this systematic method that explores all possible combinations of variables. Use ChatGPT to handle the complexity and identify unexpected solutions. This technique can also be enhanced when considering how AI is Running Out of Data: The Strange Problem Behind AI's Next Bottleneck.
“Create a matrix with variables related to [insert problem/design]. Explore all possible combinations, manually or with software, to identify potential breakthroughs.”
“Create a matrix with variables related to [insert problem/design]. Explore all possible combinations, manually or with software, to identify potential breakthroughs.”
- Fishbone Diagram (Ishikawa)
This root-cause analysis tool can be adapted for brainstorming. Start with the problem, then categorize potential causes with ChatGPT's help, and brainstorm solutions for each category to identify underlying issues and innovative approaches.
“Identify the root causes of [insert problem] by categorising contributing factors. Brainstorm solutions under each category to address the core issues.”
“Identify the root causes of [insert problem] by categorising contributing factors. Brainstorm solutions under each category to address the core issues.”
- Synectics
Draw inspiration from unexpected sources with this method that uses analogies and relationships between seemingly unrelated fields. Let ChatGPT help you find analogies and apply them to your problem to generate unique solutions.
“Draw analogies between [insert topic] and seemingly unrelated concepts. How can these analogies inspire new ideas and approaches?”
“Draw analogies between [insert topic] and seemingly unrelated concepts. How can these analogies inspire new ideas and approaches?”

This is absolutely brilliant! As someone often trying to spark new ideas for our startup here in Bengaluru, I've found that sometimes the traditional brainstorming methods feel a bit… stale. The notion of using ChatGPT to really supercharge that process is incredibly timely. I'm particularly keen to explore how it can help in those initial stages when you're just trying to throw everything at the wall, so to speak. Leveraging AI as a creative partner, not just a tool, feels like the natural next step. Can't wait to give some of these techniques a whirl and see what breakthroughs we can conjure!
Oi, this sounds proper good! I've been using ChatGPT for ideas, but never really *strategised* with it. Keen to see if these advanced techniques can help me nail my next campaign pitch. Brilliant stuff!
This piece on AI-powered brainstorming, even with a bit of water under the bridge since ChatGPT first really caught on, feels spot on. It just highlights how much our ideation processes are shifting. I appreciate the deep dive into advanced techniques; it's not just about asking ChatGPT to list ideas, is it? We're really seeing a move towards more refined prompting and integration. It gets me thinking about how these tools are levelling the playing field for smaller teams or even solo entrepreneurs who might not have a huge *brains trust* at their disposal. It's a proper game-changer for getting those creative juices flowing.
