What is the process?
The metaphor of Cloud, Rain, and Crystal highlights the importance of embracing the creative and experimental process of idea generation, as well as the importance of refining and testing ideas through a cyclical process of feedback and reflection. By embracing the iterative nature of idea development, we can create more sustainable and resilient outcomes that are in harmony with the natural world.
CLOUD
If an idea has shown resilience and has the potential to grow and develop further, it is important to explore its nourishing roots to understand what has enabled it to thrive and what it will take to continue to feed its growth. In Cloud phase we offer to explore the sources of an idea, understand what it takes to feed its growth, and consider how it can give back to its context .
RAIN
Writing can make ideas tangible by translating them from abstract thoughts and concepts into concrete words and sentences. When an idea is written down, it becomes a physical representation that can be shared, analyzed, and revised. Here are some ways in which writing will make ideas tangible:
Clarity
Communication
Revision
Memory
Collaboration
CRYSTAL
Prototyping is an important step in the development of an idea: Now you are able to “crystallize” your idea by giving it a physical form that can be interacted with and evaluated by others. This will help to identify strengths and weaknesses, gather feedback, and refine the idea further. Through prototyping, you can test assumptions, validate hypotheses, and identify potential challenges or limitations, allowing you to make more informed decisions about the direction and feasibility of your idea.
What do we expect to achieve together?
The scalability of the idea development process is achieved by applying the lessons learned from each cycle to subsequent cycles. The feedback and insights gained from testing and refining ideas are used to inform the development of future ideas, ensuring that each iteration builds on the previous one and improves the overall outcome.
CREATIVE CONFIDENCE
Creative confidence is not something that you are born with, but rather something that can be developed and nurtured over time. There are some practical ways to cultivate creative confidence. With practice and perseverance, anyone can develop this important skill and unleash their full creative potential.
OWNERSHIP
Ownership is important for nurturing the idea, because it helps you to commit to the idea, focus your efforts, tap into your creativity, be accountable for its success and failure, and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when it comes to fruition.
PROTOTYPING
Prototyping an idea is an important achievement because it allows you to test the feasibility of your idea, receive feedback, refine functionality, reduce risk, and save time and money in the long run. By investing time and resources into prototyping, you can increase the chances of success for your idea and ensure that it meets the needs of your target audience.
