This contribution addresses the lack of a structured framework for idea workshops in the Integrated Design Engineering (IDE) and resource-constrained settings. The current workshops in IDE are based on general creativity literature rather than on the processes and experiences inherent in IDE. This contribution derives a sequenced mode and integrates proposals to overcome helps to overcome common pitfalls. The sequencing shows best-practice in IDE and enables untrained users to enhance idea quality and process efficiency. The contribution offers a foundation for creativity technique assignment.
