The 7 Ways Idea Generation Form is a guided brainstorming tool that helps teams identify improvement opportunities by intentionally looking for waste in a process—instead of waiting for problems to surface on their own. It is commonly used in 3P (Production Preparation Process) projects, but can be used elsewhere as needed.This members-only form is included with the free Jumpstart membership and introduces a simple but powerful way to think differently about everyday work. By prompting users to examine a process through seven distinct improvement lenses, the form helps make waste visible and sparks more meaningful improvement discussions.This version is ideal for:<ul><li>Individuals learning how to identify waste more effectively</li><li>Teams new to structured continuous improvement</li><li>Leaders looking for a lightweight way to encourage idea generation</li></ul>Rather than asking people to “come up with ideas,” the form provides direction and clarity—making improvement feel more accessible and less intimidating. It can be used on the floor, in meetings, or as part of basic problem-solving activities.If you want a practical introduction to structured idea generation without any cost, this form is a strong starting point—and a useful tool you’ll come back to again and again.
