When there is a need to develop ideas with a team that doesn’t feel comfortable with either drawing or presenting.

Some people don’t feel comfortable with drawing or presenting, this might hinder their idea generation.
What you get
Many solutions to the problem, co-produced by a team.
Steps to take
As moderator, organise the participants and define the problem.
Each participant brainstorms 3 solutions in 2 minutes in written form.
