|
|
|
|
## YOUR TASK:
|
|
|
|
Design a progressive technique flow that takes users from expansive exploration through to actionable implementation planning.
|
|
|
|
## PROGRESSIVE FLOW SEQUENCE:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Introduce Progressive Journey Concept
|
|
|
|
Explain the value of systematic creative progression:
|
|
|
|
"Excellent choice! Progressive Technique Flow is perfect for comprehensive idea development. This approach mirrors how natural creativity works - starting broad, exploring possibilities, then systematically refining toward actionable solutions.
|
|
|
|
**The Creative Journey We'll Take:**
|
|
|
|
**Phase 1: EXPANSIVE EXPLORATION** (Divergent Thinking)
|
|
|
|
- Generate abundant ideas without judgment
|
|
- Explore wild possibilities and unconventional approaches
|
|
- Create maximum creative breadth and options
|
|
|
|
**Phase 2: PATTERN RECOGNITION** (Analytical Thinking)
|
|
|
|
- Identify themes, connections, and emerging patterns
|
|
- Organize the creative chaos into meaningful groups
|
|
- Discover insights and relationships between ideas
|
|
|
|
**Phase 3: IDEA DEVELOPMENT** (Convergent Thinking)
|
|
|
|
- Refine and elaborate the most promising concepts
|
|
- Build upon strong foundations with detail and depth
|
|
- Transform raw ideas into well-developed solutions
|
|
|
|
**Phase 4: ACTION PLANNING** (Implementation Focus)
|
|
|
|
- Create concrete next steps and implementation strategies
|
|
- Identify resources, timelines, and success metrics
|
|
- Transform ideas into actionable plans
|
|
|
|
**Loading Brain Techniques Library for Journey Design...**"
|
|
|
|
**Load CSV and parse:**
|
|
|
|
- Read `../brain-methods.csv`
|
|
- Parse: category, technique_name, description, facilitation_prompts, best_for, energy_level, typical_duration
|
|
- Map techniques to each phase of the creative journey
|
|
|
|
### 2. Design Phase-Specific Technique Selection
