A postup is an activity where participants individually jot down their ideas on sticky notes and then post them on a wall. These ideas are then discussed, validated, and saved. This method of brainstorming is great at the beginning of the workshop since it encourages thinking and expression among shy and dominant participants alike. Here are some tips to make your postup session successful:

• Use it in groups of no more than 30 people
• Set time constraints — for example, 3-20 minutes for individual idea generation and about 5-20 minutes for group discussion
• Ask each participant to produce at least a certain number of sticky notes
• Use anonymous notes when there is a hierarchy in the room that can influence ideas or if the content being discussed is sensitive^[1]
