Brainstorming • Generates large number of ideas • Goal is for participants to create new ideas off of other ideas • Seems like a “no brainer,” but right approach can improve idea output Rules for Brainstorming • No one interrupts, censors, criticizes, or praises • Questions are allowed only to clarify and idea • Hitchhiking off other ideas is encouraged • Freewheeling, unrelated ideas are okay here
How to Brainstorm • Write a description of the brainstorming objective • Leads to more effective session • One person records the ideas so all can see • Flip chart, white board, or computer/projector will all work • Each person can offer one idea per turn • Avoiding “shout outs” keeps all participants actively involved • People can pass on one turn but come back in later if they think of something • Someone else’s idea may trigger a new idea later on • When everyone passes on a turn, the session is over • Compile the idea list for future use
