What this episode covers
In this epsidode, Aaron “The Schmoz” Herman visits the PresenTense Idea Slam. Aaron watches and explores the ways in which brainstorming can help create innovation. Innovation was in full force at the PresenTense Idea Slam in NYC. The slam process has a basis in contemporary social thought and is derived from the concept of design thinking developed at Stanford University. The process also draws on NASA research on brainstorming that found that the first person to articulate an idea in a brainstorming session tends to define everything that follows. The slam process tries to avoid that pitfall by having participants write their ideas on sticky notes, which are then organized on the wall as “clouds” of related ideas that may be further refined as the slam process proceeds. The PresenTense Group engages and inspires the most creative minds of our generation, investing in their ideas and energy to revitalize the Jewish community. PresenTense enables young Jews to have global conversations about new ideas and envision a better future. And when they’re eager to act upon these ideas, we educate and equip them for success.
