# Brainstorm outcomes deck example > A finished ten-slide brainstorm outcomes deck, from the session that found VentureForce. Three slides are open here; the other seven stay closed. A finished example, not a template. Page: https://ainna.ai/documents/brainstorm-deck · PowerPoint · 10 slides · Document 04 of 12, the problem · Updated 6 October 2026 · Document designs by George Krasadakis ## The pages on show - Slide 1 of 10, Cover: The session's question, and its numbers: ideas explored, promoted and still open.

A brainstorm outcomes deck reports what a brainstorm produced to the people who weren't in the room: the problem, a slide for each promoted idea, what's still open, what was ruled out and why, and how the session ran. Also called: Brainstorming session summary, Ideation workshop report. ## Why it matters Brainstorms usually fail afterwards: ideas on scattered sticky notes, decided by a show of hands in the room, then forgotten. The outcomes deck keeps every idea in one format, with its grade and the reason it was promoted, kept open or ruled out, so the session's work survives the session. ## Capture in the room, judge after it From Chapter 5 of Innovation Mode: a session produces ideas in one consistent format, and they are judged afterwards against the same criteria, never by a vote in the room, where seniority, presentation skill and groupthink decide. 1. **Frame the problem first.** The session opens on one framed problem, so every idea answers the same question. 2. **Capture every idea the same way.** The problem it solves, who it serves, how it works and what is unknown, for every idea, from every voice. 3. **Judge after the session.** Each idea is assessed against the same criteria. In Ainna, the Judge grades it and gives its reasoning. In Ainna's document: a slide for each promoted idea, with its grade. 4. **Keep the reasons.** What was ruled out, and why, so nobody argues the same idea twice. In Ainna's document: the ideas ruled out, with reasons. The method as a template: [Brainstorming Workshop Templates](https://theinnovationmode.com/innovation-workshop-templates).

Comes after: [Problem Framing Document](https://ainna.ai/documents/problem-framing-document) · [Problem Framing Deck](https://ainna.ai/documents/problem-framing-deck) Leads to: [Idea One-Pager](https://ainna.ai/documents/idea-one-pager) ## Questions **Should we vote on ideas during the session?** No. In-room voting rewards the best presenter and the most senior voice. Capture every idea the same way and assess them afterwards against the same criteria. **What should a brainstorm summary include?** The question the session answered, the ideas promoted with their grades, the ideas still open, the ones ruled out with the reason, and how the session ran. **Who is a brainstorm outcomes deck for?** The sponsors and teams who weren't in the room and now have to act on what it decided. ## Links - Guide: [How Does AI Transform Brainstorming and Ideation?](https://ainna.ai/resources/faq/ai-brainstorming-ideation-faq) - The method: [Brainstorming Workshop Templates](https://theinnovationmode.com/innovation-workshop-templates) - The problem behind the idea: [Problem 0032 on Problem Radar](https://ainna.ai/problems/workforce-unprepared-for-the-disruption-ai-is-bringing) - All twelve documents: https://ainna.ai/documents (Markdown: https://ainna.ai/documents.md) ## Clarity, by design Every document is architected and designed for one purpose: clarity. The designs are original, built on the method of Innovation Mode 2.0 (Springer Nature, 2026), where some of them are published. Its author, George Krasadakis, has spent 25 years building products, in a career that spans Microsoft, Accenture, GSK and ResMed. Ainna distils your work into each one: every claim in its place, every figure with its source or its assumption. Decks are set in Roboto, documents in Georgia. ## About the sample It comes from one public problem, number 0032 on Problem Radar (https://ainna.ai/problems/workforce-unprepared-for-the-disruption-ai-is-bringing), which Ainna framed and developed into one idea, VentureForce. It is a concept, not a company; its market figures are AI estimates.
