How does your team brainstorm?

11 Mar

Written By Mike

A few rules can help maximise the session:

Choose a leader/facilitator- to keep the rules and write up the ideas!
Make it relaxed and enjoyable!
Define the subject clearly and keep it in full view throughout the session on a flipchart or something like that!
Allocate 2 minutes individual preparation prior to starting!
Think of as many ideas as possible, nothing is ridiculous!
No criticism, discussion or evaluation until the end!
Encourage full participation from all the group!
Write up each and every idea!
When brainstorming has dried up, evaluate ideas, eliminate duplication and clarify that everyone understands each idea!
Prioritise ideas by Team ranking!

Retention, retention, retention!
