About this template

A crazy eights ideation workshop lets you and your team create a diverse a range of ideas as possible… in the shortest time possible.

To use this template:

  • Assign each person on your team a group
  • Share a brief with your team to give them some inspiration (and maybe a constraint or two) for their ideas
  • The only rule is one idea per sticky
  • Use the timer tools in the sidebar to set a time limit for the exercise (we recommend 1 minute per idea, so 8 minutes per round)
  • Start writing!

We recommend running a couple of rounds per workshop, and because it’s so quick, that’ll mean that a team of 4 can generate 64 ideas in 30 minutes. How’s that for speed? 😎
