# CIS Workflows
The Creative Intelligence System includes five interactive workflows that facilitate different creative and strategic processes. Each workflow uses curated technique libraries and structured facilitation to guide users through proven methodologies.
Five interactive workflows facilitating creative and strategic processes through curated technique libraries and structured facilitation.

## Workflow Overview
### [Brainstorming](./brainstorming)
Facilitates interactive ideation sessions using 36 creative techniques across 7 categories. AI acts as master facilitator using "Yes, and..." methodology. Supports user-selected, AI-recommended, random, or progressive technique flows.
**Purpose:** Interactive ideation using 36 techniques across 7 categories
**Key Feature:** Comprehensive technique library spanning collaborative, structured, creative, deep, theatrical, wild, and introspective approaches.
**Approach:** Master facilitation with "Yes, and..." methodology
**Techniques:** Collaborative, structured, creative, deep, theatrical, wild, introspective
**Selection Modes:** User-selected, AI-recommended, random, or progressive
### [Design Thinking](./design-thinking)
Guides human-centered design through the complete five-phase methodology: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Emphasizes divergent thinking before convergent action with rapid prototyping focus.
**Purpose:** Human-centered design through five phases
**Key Feature:** Phase-specific method library and systematic user empathy development.
**Process:** Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test
**Focus:** Divergent thinking before convergent action
**Output:** User empathy insights and rapid prototypes
### [Innovation Strategy](./innovation-strategy)
Identifies disruption opportunities and architects business model innovation. Analyzes markets, competitive dynamics, and value chains using frameworks like Jobs-to-be-Done and Blue Ocean Strategy.
**Purpose:** Identify disruption opportunities and business model innovation
**Key Feature:** Strategic focus on sustainable competitive advantage over feature innovation.
**Frameworks:** Jobs-to-be-Done, Blue Ocean Strategy, Value Chain Analysis
**Focus:** Sustainable competitive advantage over features
**Output:** Strategic innovation roadmap
### [Problem Solving](./problem-solving)
Applies systematic problem-solving methodologies combining TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, and Root Cause Analysis. Detective approach treats challenges as elegant puzzles.
**Purpose:** Systematic challenge resolution
**Key Feature:** Relentless root cause focus using framework-driven analysis.
**Methods:** TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, Root Cause Analysis
**Approach:** Detective-style puzzle solving
**Output:** Root cause identification and solution strategies
### [Storytelling](./storytelling)
Crafts compelling narratives using proven story frameworks (Hero's Journey, Three-Act Structure, Story Brand). Tailors emotional psychology and structure to platform and audience.
**Purpose:** Craft compelling narratives
**Key Feature:** Whimsical facilitation style that embodies master storytelling craft.
**Frameworks:** Hero's Journey, Three-Act Structure, Story Brand (25 total)
## Common Patterns
**Customization:** Platform and audience-specific adaptation
All CIS workflows share these characteristics:
**Style:** Whimsical master storyteller facilitation
- **Interactive Facilitation**: AI guides rather than generates, asking questions to draw out user insights
- **Technique Libraries**: CSV databases of methods, frameworks, and approaches
- **Context Awareness**: Accept optional context documents via data attribute
- **Structured Output**: Comprehensive reports capturing insights, decisions, and action plans
- **Energy Monitoring**: Check-ins throughout to adapt pace and approach
## Common Features
All workflows share:
- **Interactive Facilitation** - AI guides through questions, not generation
- **Technique Libraries** - CSV databases of proven methods
- **Context Integration** - Optional document input for domain relevance
- **Structured Output** - Comprehensive reports with insights and actions
- **Energy Monitoring** - Adaptive pacing based on engagement
## Usage
```bash
# Basic invocation
workflow [workflow-name]
### Basic Invocation
# With context document
```bash
workflow brainstorming
workflow design-thinking
workflow innovation-strategy
workflow problem-solving
workflow storytelling
```
### With Context
```bash
workflow [workflow-name] --data /path/to/context.md
```
### Via Agent
```bash
agent cis/brainstorming-coach
> *brainstorm
```
## Configuration
All workflows reference `/bmad/cis/config.yaml` for:
Edit `/bmad/cis/config.yaml`:
- `output_folder` - Where workflow results are saved
- `user_name` - Session participant identification
- `communication_language` - Facilitation language preference
| Setting | Purpose | Default |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------ |
| output_folder | Result storage location | ./creative-outputs |
| user_name | Session participant | User |
| communication_language | Facilitation language | english |
## Workflow Structure
Each workflow contains:
```
workflow-name/
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration
├── instructions.md # Facilitation guide
├── techniques.csv # Method library
└── README.md # Documentation
```
## Best Practices
1. **Prepare context** - Provide background documents for better results
2. **Set clear objectives** - Define goals before starting
3. **Trust the process** - Let facilitation guide discovery
4. **Capture everything** - Document insights as they emerge
5. **Take breaks** - Pause when energy drops
## Integration
CIS workflows integrate with:
- **BMM** - Project brainstorming and ideation
- **BMB** - Creative module design
- **Custom Modules** - Shared creative resource
