Example

We start the brainstorming by looking into all the aspects that make Jonathan's juice bar so special. Then we find associations relating to the founder and his professional experience. Then we take a short look at the customers before moving on to the key ingredients of the juice. Now we come to the desired purpose (external and internal). We conclude the amassing phase with some characteristics of the desired names.

9 Refine the questions in the clusters

Now refine the questions in the clusters and think about how to best inspire the participants.
