It can be easier to ideate without worrying about quality. Analyzing what is bad and good about each idea, and modifying contexts or aspects, can help turn bad ideas into good ones. The method involves four steps: 1) generate many bad ideas within a time limit, 2) analyze what is bad and good about each, 3) make ideas better by keeping good aspects and changing bad ones, and 4) describe modified ideas.

    How to Ideate with Bad

    Ideas—A Divergent Ideation


    Method
    Bad Ideas is an ideation method you can use both for ideation and to train your divergent
    thinking skills. Divergent thinking occurs in the early stages of ideation and takes the
    form of generative cognitive activity, where the quantity of ideas is more important than
    quality. Visually, you may imagine two lines opening up from a single point like a “less
    than” sign (<). This indicates how the thinking starts at a single point of focus and
    expands further and further as more novel and unique ideas and combinations get added
    over time. This divergent phase is a time for disruptive and lateral thinking.

    You might still wonder why it’s a good idea to spend your valuable time thinking about
    bad ideas. When you ideate, there can be a lot of pressure to come up with good ideas and
    you’ll often struggle to break the logical, analytical linear thinking mode which we prac-
    tice in our daily lives and learn at school. However, when you try to come up with bad
    ideas, it’s easier to focus on the ideation without worrying about how your ideas will be
    judged.

    Bad ideas are also a design tool which will help you explore a whole new part of the
    design space. Bad ideas help you tap into lateral thinking where the purpose is to break
    out of rigid thought patterns and to generate unpredictable ideas that were previously
    unknown. To do lateral thinking is to think outside the box.

    Bad ideas obviously start out as bad; however, if you follow the steps below, it’s actually
    also a great method for coming up with good ideas!

    4 Steps in the Bad Ideas Ideation


    Session
    1. Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes. Write down as many bad ideas for the topic you are
    working on as you can think of in that time.

    2. Analyze what’s bad about your ideas. For each idea, ask yourself:
    a. What’s bad about this idea?

    b. Why is this a bad thing?

    c. Are there any other things that share this feature which are not bad?

    d. If so, what is the difference?

    3. Analyze what’s good about your ideas. For each idea, ask yourself:
    a. What’s good about this idea?

    b. Why is this a good thing?

    c. Are there any other things that share this feature which are not good?

    d. If so, what’s the difference?

    4. Make your ideas better. For each idea, ask yourself:


    a. Are there good aspects you want to keep?

    b. Are there bad aspects you want to change?

    c. What if the context were different?

    d. Describe the modified idea.

    If your bad ideas are truly terrible, a good tip is to choose an aspect of the idea and work
    to turn that aspect into a good idea.
