Somehow we managed to have 22 people give all 3 versions of their pitches, and still finished up by 10pm. The groups system (A,B,C,D) worked well, and I think there was a plus to having people stand together up front while waiting. Everyone did a great job: and I’m sure we’re all mad that we don’t have magic highlighters, zombie parks, me cards, or hobohoops just yet.
Next week is all about group idea generation: So like week 2, we’ll be playing lots of games and using different techniques while in class.

Here are some really good examples of elevator pitches I found at MSNBC.com http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13561213/
The elevator pitch videos are toward the bottom-left hand side as you scroll down.
Scott, when writing our design brief, do we have to mention who our competition might be–like the woman in the closet organizer pitch does.

You can mention your competition if you think it’s the best use of pitch (or brief time). If were pitching an idea that had strong support for whatever the status quo was (say a new soft drink) I’d possibly say something about how mine is different, better, more interesting.
