Ideation 101: From Insight to Imagination—With AI as Your Creative Partner

​Great ideas don’t come out of nowhere. They come from deep insights, structured exploration, and a willingness to go beyond the obvious. In Ideation 101, you’ll learn how to generate bold, meaningful ideas that are rooted in reality—and you’ll experience how AI can become a valuable team member in your creative process.

This is not about random brainstorming or sticky-note overload. It’s about purposeful creativity: connecting human insight with possibility, in a way that leads to actionable ideas you can prototype, test, and implement.

Whether you’re innovating a service, designing a product, or improving internal processes, this 90-minute session helps you turn raw insight into ideas that matter—and show you how to integrate ideation into your day-to-day work rather than treating it as a one-off workshop exercise.
