PNI is a great method to think about the strengths, weaknesses and interesting aspects of an idea.
What can you do?
Have in mind the problem and potential ideas, that are to be analyzed. Set the topic or guiding question (e.g. Is this idea good? What are the pros and cons of each idea? What would happen if…?).
Get a template with three columns: positive aspects (P), negative aspects (N), interesting aspects (I).
Individually or collectively (groups of 4 participants maximum) identify positive, negative, and interesting aspects of each potential idea and fill in the columns with your answers. In the interesting aspects section you can also include neutral or complex aspects.
Try to follow the sequential order P – N – I and avoid jumping between the columns.
To finish, share all the PNI tables and discuss the best option.
