In 2010 Dave Gray released the handy book, Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers, and Changemakers, in which he, Sunni Brown, and James Macanufo provided dozens of group brainstorming suggestions. A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of speaking with Dave. Dave talked with us about everything from Gamification to Star Trek to the podular (or scalable) organization, an idea which he is exploring later this year in his new book, The Connected Company.

On May 24, Dave Gray presented the theory and techniques behind Gamestorming: a creative process that allows people to collaborate on ideas through games. Above the Fold and BostonPHP were proud to host such an enlightening and inclusive evening.

At UX Boston, we uncovered a large mix of extremely valuable brainstorming exercises from the book Gamestorming. In this post, we reveal five of the most important ones as it pertains to user experience consulting.
