Better or Worse
Better or worse is an idea generation method that encourages your team to generate ideas that are both useful and counterproductive to your design challenge.
Generating ideas in this way encourages your team to see new opportunities even in challenges. You will build upon areas that you think will improve your solution concept, while ideas that are designed to worsen the concept will be inverted and used as inspiration for improvements.
