The Power of Ten method can be used in both the ideation and analysis phases. The actual problem is viewed through a multilevel reduction or enlargement, and thus new perspectives and resulting new guiding questions are obtained.
Especially when a team feels stuck in an idea generation process, the Power of Ten can bring new momentum. By considering constraints associated with the problem/task, one can increase or decrease them and gain new insights.
For example, you usually have the “budget for implementation” restriction. Now here you could think, what could solutions look like if we had ten million euros for implementation or what if we only had 50 euros?
