“…Though there are many techniques and tools for generating creative ideas, brainstorming is undoubtedly one of the most popular creative techniques used by organisations (Faure 2004). However, this technique does not come without its limitations (Isaksen and Gaulin 2005).…”

Creative idea generation is essential to novel concept development and ultimately innovation. The following paper describes an extensive industry-based study investigating the use of creative stimuli during a brainstorming session at the conceptual stages of design. A new approach to retrieving creative stimuli referred to as 'Sweeper' is proposed, which sources stimuli internal to a company's information repository. This creative stimuli tool is then compared to other creative stimuli tools using objective, industrially grounded performance criteria. This study provides an arguably much needed real, industrially-based experiment regarding brainstorming. The results and observations suggest that having a guided approach to sourcing creative stimuli is very beneficial. The use of the TRIZ contradiction matrix and inventive principles is also shown to be a good example of a guided approach in terms of increasing creative performance. However, the Sweeper tool using internally sourced stimuli provides a method that is useful and more a practical alternative, as it is based firmly in the domain of activity.

“…As a result, a strategy for innovation and new technology has been adopted for "turning good ideas into new products" (Sainsbury 2007). In order to produce the most promising creative ideas required for innovation, the preferred technique within industry is still traditional brainstorming (Faure 2004) despite the growing body of research identifying its limitations (Isaksen and Gaulin 2005).…”

The use of creative stimuli at early stages of industrial product innovation

Creative ideas are essential to original concept generation and ultimately innovation. But where and when do these vital creative ideas occur during product innovation and more importantly how can they be influenced? The following paper describes an industrially-based study of several innovation projects following the actual processes of professional designers. Some ideas from the early brainstorm can be traced all the way through to concepts that are selected at the company's stage gate. Those early ideas are marked as 'appropriate' which provides an objective evaluation of the influence of any prescribed creative stimuli being used during the brainstorm sessions in relation to the output of the innovation process. The results showed that the frequency of idea production remained roughly constant during the first 30 minutes but steadily reduced after this period.However, the number of 'appropriate' ideas decreased rapidly, where 75% of the appropriate ideas in the first 30minutes had been expressed after just 15minutes. By introducing various forms of stimuli to the groups, the frequency of idea generation was maintained and in many cases increased. The stimuli were also shown to help generate more appropriate ideas which were included within concepts proposed at the stage-gate.

“…It is known by the researchers that if analysis of the problem is not well done, detail design and manufacture cannot fix the results of a poor conceptual design analysis. Though there are many techniques and tools for generating creative ideas, brainstorming is undoubtedly one of the most popular creative techniques used by organizations Faure [33]. After the design problem was given teams focused on deriving useful information about the concepts.…”

In textile sector intuitive non-engineering methods and skill based designer oriented design processes are regarded as appropriate for textile manufacturing. However, design presented by the use of Prescriptive design models concludes to be more direct and rapid when compared to the Descriptive design models. For these reasons, systematic design techniques prove to be more scientific and easy to manipulate when compared to classical intuitive design techniques. Since textile, as an industrial product in essence, has its own design paradigms and scientific background, it has to define its own methodology in an attempt to form a scheduled, programmed and repeatable design process.The primary objective of this research is to provide support to the textile designer during early stages of the design process by using Conceptual Design steps, which can be used as a creative analysis process in textile design problems providing a high level of creativity. The Pahl and Beitz model is employed to investigate critical and complicated design problems of three design projects, each conducted by different student, solving different design requests from different fields of textile sector and thus, each fulfilling different transformation functions and design solutions. The resulting collections are presented and the steps of process are discussed in the Results & Discussion part.
