The next topic of discussion in the Ideating process is Webbing technique. Till now what we did? We have collected lot of ideas now whatever ideas we have collected, we have asked questions so now these question will try to help us in structuring. Now, we are trying to use a technique called as Webbing technique. Webbing technique is nothing like mind mapping. Several parts come, how are these parts linked with each other together. So, that technique is called Webbing technique.

Webbing:

Webbing, sometimes refers to as a mind mapping. Why? You have several parts, all these parts has to be linked so that you have a structural thinking towards the solution refers to as a mind mapping typically involves writing down a number of thoughts and ideas. Whatever idea it came now all those ideas you are writing it. Now, after you write those ideas. I say 10% of this, 20% of this, 50% of this idea. So, now how did you do it? We try to do a mind map. We try to do a webbing technique. Then, you return to what you wrote and connect the dots to create a web that links together all your individual parts. So, if you remember, I was talking to you about primary requirement, then secondary requirement, then tertiary requirement. So, all these things if you see, they are all thought process that are linked with each other. Then, this can actually be a very chaotic process, because you are writing so many thoughts which come into it. I will show you finally how does a web maps looks like or mind mapping looks like. You have to be willing to let go your organizational mental structure. This is what I told the mental block, the habitual block, the emotional block, the cultural block and environmental block. So this is what it is. So, you have to be willing to let go your organized mental structure more than in other brainstorming methods. But if you’re successful at webbing, you can develop a number of ideas that are instantly applicable to each other and the topic in question.

To start, grab a sheet of paper and write down our focus topic in the center.

Then, simply jot down every other idea, concept or consideration you are thinking about that relates to the topic. If I talk about a product – I should talk about weight, I should talk about energy, I should talk about color, I should talk about shape. Then, when I talk about energy – I should talk about drive, I should talk about mechanism. So these are all coming. So, ignore placement and formatting for the dumping stage and focus on getting the idea down to a paper. Writing down on a piece of paper gives you more, and more, and more clarity. Moment somebody is very angry with you, somebody has lot of thought process with you. You ask him to peacefully sit down and write down his thought process. Now, many thoughts will simply get eliminated because he or she himself is it is not practical. So, once your sheet is covered with ideas, start to identify the ideas that relate to each other by circling, starring or otherwise making marks of them. Then, connect the circles with lines. So, if you see this is the typical webbing thing. You may want to use different types of lines, different colors, or even a second sheet of paper or sticky notes to group and regroup your ideas. The end result will be a number of clustered ideas that are connected through a web of lines. So if you see this is the typical webbing thing. So, manual thinking so, it is linked with techniques simple, then you write about some techniques , then you write about approach collaboration, then you see approach, you see design. This is a Web mapping which is done. So, where the centre theme is your problem statement and several other things which comes to your mind you write it down and then it goes to the periphery and then you start linking them.

Benefit of Brainstorming Webs

So, the benefit of brainstorming webs is it helps people to develop and improve the ideas and thought process. Allows people to discover new ideas and relationships between the concepts. Get the mind going to generate and organize thought processes, so that the new ideas and in formations can flow easily.

Summary:

To summaries Benefit of Brainstorming Webs – Webbing is a process of connecting dots. We list down all the ideas, and then try to connect one with each other. So it should be one idea become as separate vertical standing there. You should try to link that idea with another idea so that you can see the mapping happening properly. It is a process of classifying individual thoughts into groups. These groups can have commonality between them. The process helps in organizing the random thoughts created while brainstorming session into a structure thought process. So, what are we trying to do? We are trying to improvise our ideas such that in the next stage when we want to make prototypes we are able to make only feasible prototypes. If you have thousand ideas you can’t make thousand prototypes. You will have thousand ideas from there by doing all these web techniques you will try to reduce thousand ideas into ten practically possible solutions for the idea. So, this webbing technique is a very very powerful tool.

So, first we went through blocks, then we saw brainstorming, after brainstorming we start at looking into the various house and voice that is the checklisting process. Now, once the checklisting process is done, then we try to undergo this webbing techniques so, that we try to organize our thought process.

Thank You.
