This method is a great way to introduce group members and to break the ice in a group. It is a popular true team-building method. It is about answering four questions that can be either personal or professional and allows group members to get an idea of each other.

Brainstorming sessions can take many different forms, however here we adopt a method to use standardised templates to be filled out by participants answering one or several rounds to given challenges. Facilitators lead the grouping of ideas, which in a second step, can be matured (see Mature Your Ideas). With these two types of brainstorming activities, you will systematically, simply and effectively transform questions and challenges into ideas. Here, there are examples of two different approaches: the open and the closed brainstorming. In both options, you can benefit from putting together a team with different professional competencies to get as many different ideas
as possible.

The 1-2-4-All activity engages every individual in searching for answers. The size of the group is not important for this activity. The knowledge and imagination that exists in unknown places can be explored.

This method is especially helpful to generate new ideas but also to build consensus. By exchanging knowledge and information between various people more knowledge can be generated and new perspectives on an issue come up and help finding different approaches and solutions to tackle a problem.
