Design a series of collaborative problem-solving techniques that incorporate principles from group dynamics, creative thinking, and decision-making theories to enhance team collaboration, innovation, and effective decision-making. The techniques should include methods for generating ideas, evaluating options, and reaching consensus, as well as strategies for managing group dynamics and fostering a collaborative environment. Consider how these techniques can be applied across different team compositions, industries, and problem types, and how they can be refined over time to continuously improve collaborative problem-solving outcomes. Avoid AI-driven solutions and focus on human-centered approaches, communication, and shared understanding. The theme or focus of the group for which these techniques should be applied to provide specific real-world examples/applications (hypothetical scenarios generated for each technique), is specified as follows: [enter field or group focus or remove this specification]
