Interesting post on brainstorming.
Here are a few things to keep in mind during your next group brainstorming session:
- new ideas, inspiration, and creativity cannot be scheduled
- and it typically does not fit neatly into everyone’s schedule
- don’t spend much time on bad ideas
- but don’t create an environment that is anti-new or crazy thoughts
- don’t use the brainstorming session to spread potential blame/failure
- hijackers need to be dealt with – everyone should contribute
- don’t waste the group’s time if a decision has already been made
- brainstorming sessions are not the appropriate venue to sell a particular idea
- office politics are the arch-enemy of fresh ideas
- lastly, scribes should have great handwriting
