15. FACILITATIONS:
SeriouslyCreative approaches problem solving and ideation meetings using the methodology of IDEA
Engineering™.
We know how to get people unstuck and thinking in fresh new directions while keeping an eye on the strategic
objectives of the company. We call these facilitated meetings Solution Sessions and we can prove how they
dramatically cut down planning time, produce powerful results and are fun, engaging and dynamic.
Key Elements:
•Rubber Band Effect - sometimes we find we need to take a step backwards as we discover new things.
•Doing over planning - Planning sounds good but it depends on making assumptions. Doing is about going
out and trying something to learn first hand what works and what doesn’t.
•Human Centric - Thinking more along the lines of anthropologists where observation leads to better insights
and to empathy with the consumer. Observe and understand.
•Storytelling and visuals over spreadsheets - This means that numbers alone cannot tell the human side of
the story. During our sessions we collect visual data in the form of pictures and video so they better translate
our learnings and conclusions into stories that direct our thinking in more concrete and real ways.
•Radical Collaboration - Where possible we like to source ideas from beyond just those people on the team.
This can mean partners, non-related departments and even customers.
No SolutionSession is the same. Based upon an assessment meeting or conversation we will be able to
design a session customized to your specific needs. Average duration for a Solution Session is 1-3
days.

Según Dana Montenegro, el estar en un lugar
diferente estimula el proceso creativo y promueve el
risk taking. “El lugar que nosotros tenemos, no tan
sólo está preparado para la innovación sino que
estimula la creatividad. También, tenemos las he-
rramientas donde la persona puede dibujar o
