Why it works


Everyone believes that brainstorming generates new ideas.

Effective strategic planning separates divergent and convergent thinking. Divergence creates options, explores possibilities, and offers creative solutions. Then, convergence makes choices, allocates resources, and executes. We suggest separating the two with a night of sleep (or lunch).

At PopUpThinkTank, divergent thinking (brainstorming and ideation) also creates energy, builds community, and activates the next steps. We think engagement is more important than the content of the ideas (though we’ve seen great ideas over the years).

When a facilitator and client share the experience of planning and executing a PopUpThinkTank, they create energy, build trust, and expand their networks, setting the foundation for a thriving working relationship.
