These presentations will be followed by participatory development including individual and group-based idea-generation and discussions of possible solutions on how to reduce excessive workloads.
The key purpose of structuring knowledge is to stimulate idea generation based on a fundamental and general understanding of underlying mechanisms.
Against this backdrop, we have developed an integrative process for idea generation based on approaches drawn from several domains, including education, consumer research, business model design and emergent strategy.
Previous studies have shown that a predominant tendency in creative generation tasks is to base new ideas on well-known, specific instances of previous ideas (e.g., basing ideas for imaginary aliens on dogs, cats or bears).
In Section 7, we will discuss some heuristics used to transfer source designs into alternative target systems and propose an idea generation model based on the former study.
In brief, if idea generation is based on a more or less random process of free association, and you are able to come up with many ideas, the probability for being flexible and original is consequently increased.
Based on a literature review, a creative idea generation process was developed; it consists of four successive phases (Future envision, Opportunity identification and analysis, Idea generation, and Idea expansion) and one supportive phase (Ideation control).
Besides, Si and Lee [23] proposed a framework of strategies of bypassing patents based on judgments of patent infringement for new patentable idea generation.

Since few experiments prove the effectiveness of idea generation methods and tools, designers often base their choice on anecdotal evidence or personal experience.
