60 minutes](https://help.ideascale.com/disney-creative-strategy#brainstorming) [Adjourn - 15 Minutes](https://help.ideascale.com/disney-creative-strategy#adjourn) [Tips for Facilitators](https://help.ideascale.com/disney-creative-strategy#tips) --- ### **Introduction (15 minutes)** - Welcome participants and introduce the Disney Creative Strategy. - Explain the three distinct roles: - **Dreamer:** Focuses on imagination, possibilities, and blue-sky thinking. - **Realist:** Analyzes ideas practically, considering implementation and feasibility. - **Spoiler (or Critic):** Identifies potential problems, challenges, and obstacles. - Emphasize the importance of moving through each stage sequentially and respecting each role. - Explain how to use the digital sticky notes and whiteboard sections to represent each stage. - Clearly define the problem, challenge, or opportunity that will be addressed. --- ### **Brainstorming Instructions (60 minutes)** - **Activity 1: The Dreamer Phase (20 minutes):** - Instruct participants to adopt the "Dreamer" mindset. - Encourage them to generate as many ideas as possible, without judgment or limitations. - Use digital sticky notes to capture these ideas in a designated "Dreamer" section of the whiteboard. - Promote a free-flowing and imaginative environment. - **Activity 2: The Realist Phase (20 minutes):** -  Shift the focus to the "Realist" mindset. - Have participants review the "Dreamer" ideas and analyze their feasibility, practicality, and potential implementation. - Use different colored sticky notes (or move existing ones) to add realist considerations, action plans, and potential steps for each idea. - Create a "Realist" section on the whiteboard to organize these additions. - **Activity 3: The Spoiler Phase (20 minutes):** - - Transition to the "Spoiler" (or Critic) mindset. - Ask participants to identify potential problems, challenges, risks, and obstacles associated with the ideas and plans. - Use a different color of sticky notes (or move/annotate existing ones) to capture these concerns in a "Spoiler" section of the whiteboard. - Encourage constructive criticism and thorough analysis. --- ### **Adjourn (15 minutes)** - Summarize the refined ideas and plans, incorporating insights from all three phases. - Discuss next steps for further development or implementation. - Capture the final whiteboard and distribute it to participants. - Thank participants for their contributions. --- ### **Tips for Facilitators** - Ensure participants understand the distinct roles of each phase. - Guide the group through each phase sequentially, maintaining focus. - Encourage respectful communication and constructive criticism. - Use the digital whiteboard to visually separate and organize the output of each phase. - Facilitate the discussion to ensure that ideas are thoroughly explored and refined. - Keep the session focused and productive, ensuring all voices are heard. --- Last Updated: June 18, 2026 - [Product Updates](https://help.ideascale.com/product-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [2026](https://help.ideascale.com/product-updates?hsLang=en#2026) -
