PRODUCTIVITY: Brainstorming - Ten Guidelines

10 Guidelines for Effective Brainstorming




By Randah Taher

Brainstorming is a powerful tool, if used correctly, but just like any power tool, you must read the manual, follow instructions and use the thing correctly…or you’re wasting time. Randah Taher presents 10 guidelines to optimizing the power of brainstorming. source


The Ten Commandments (see also the pdf version):
1. Come prepared. And invite others to do so too.
2. Invite others to the party.
3. Think and re-think the real issue.
4. Record as you go.
5. Defer judgement.
6. Become a generator machine.
7. Force large quotas.
8. Elaborate and improve.
9. Enhance visuals.
10. Threaten yourself.

    I have watched this power point before. It has a lot of good tips. I also recommend coming up with questions that generate ideas. Check my blog--Generate 100 ideas (posted in July) for more tips, or go to http://www.brainreactions.net to brainstorm ideas with other brainstormers on the internet.
