Time:
The exercises in this module will take about 30 minutes to complete. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing 45 minutes to complete this module.

Aims:
• To introduce ‘Reversal’ as an idea generation technique.
• To provide participants with an opportunity to practise using the technique.

Group Size:
This module is suitable for use with groups of up to 25 participants.

Useful For:
Staff at all levels.

You'll Need:
• To pre-prepare a flipchart, one sheet for each of the two example problems provided, using the same layout as shown in the handout.

Notes:
When preparing your flipcharts refer to the handout for a worked example of the technique covered by this module.

This tends to be one of the first idea generation techniques we introduce, as it is very easy to teach and participants tend to be very receptive to it.

We strongly recommend that you follow it up with some more techniques for idea generation. Options include Forced Connections, Reframe and Idea Box.

Remote/Virtual Delivery:
There is a Remote Delivery version of this module available in Trainers’ Library.
