Brainstorming The 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 that 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. • Avoid criticism. • Allow all members to contribute.
Go 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.
Welcome Piling-on Piling-on occurs when one member’s idea produces a similar idea or an enhanced idea. All ideas should be recorded.
Allow Free-for-All Outrageous, humorous, and seemingly unimportant ideas should be recorded. It is common for the most off-the-wall idea to be one wherein lies the solution for the problem. The sky is the limit.
