3,467 ideas on Post It’s on the wall. Congratulations – and now? Discussing which idea is the best? Please don’t! You want to go home at some point. In general, an evaluation of a multitude of ideas is not a good idea. It only knows two results: Good or bad. With most ideas, however, I can’t even conclusively assess the potential at the beginning. That’s why we always recommend in our Innovation Professional training: First filter then evaluate!

All filtered-out ideas remain visible and can be reintegrated into the next rounds of ideas.

Here you will find 10 methods for filtering ideas and evaluating ideas .
