Brainstormed Ideas and Rating Data
The table lists the project ideas that were grouped into the waste reduction and recycling theme. The ratings for each idea are the average among Collaboration Lab participants.
The "go-zone" charts below display the relative ratings of ideas on each of three pairs of scales (feasibility & impact; commitment & feasibility; commitment & impact). In each chart, the vertical and horizontal lines mark the average on that scale among ideas in the theme. Ideas in the upper right quadrant are above the average rating on both scales.
