But for certain efforts, this is decidedly not the case, and some planning and true problem solving becomes critically important. Big projects and especially initiatives (projects spanning multiple teams) are common examples.

Critiques are a time-proven way of pushing design ideas forward. Art and design schools have used them as key teaching venues for decades. And while common in corporate teams, I suspect they’re often underutilized. To start, it’s worth pointing that critiques ("crits"): Are not generative sessions.

Deep down you want them to think on their own, to use their talent and experience to find the best solution.
