Brainstorming A process used to find a solution to a problem by collecting ideas without regard for feasibility, which occur from a group of people brought together for a specific purpose.
Rules for Brainstorming • No criticism allowed • Work for quantity • Welcome piling-on • Allow free-for-all
No Criticism Allowed • People automatically tend to evaluate each suggested idea - their own, as well as others. • No criticism • No negative comments
Strive for Quantity • People must experience “brain-drain” before the innovative, creative ideas can surface. • Therefore, the more ideas, the more likely they are to be quality ideas.
Piling-on is Welcome • Piling-on occurs when one member’s idea produces a similar idea or an enhanced idea. • All ideas should be recorded.
Encourage Free-for-All • Outrageous, humorous, and seemingly unimportant ideas must be recorded. • It is common for the most off-the-wall idea to be the one that is the solution to the problem. • The sky is the limit.
