Reverse Brainstorming Template

The Reverse Brainstorming Template is an effective tool for brainstorming. It's a great option when other brainstorming methods haven't worked as well as you expected. For example, if you feel stuck in finding a good solution to a problem.

Complete the brainstorm by filling out each of the five sections, in this order:

1. "Define the problem" column:

What problem or challenge do you need to solve?

2. "Reverse the problem" column: Reverse the problem or challenge by asking, "How could I possibly cause the problem?" or "How could I possibly achieve the opposite effect?"

3. "Collect Ideas" column: Brainstorm solution ideas based on the ideas you defined in the "Reverse the problem" column. Allow ideas to flow freely. Do not reject anything!

4. "Review Ideas" column: Reverse the ideas you defined in the "Collect Ideas" column.

5. "Identify Solutions" column: Now is the time to evaluate which ideas are feasible from the "Review the ideas" column. Pick the ones that solve the problems listed in the "Define the problem" column.
