Item Upon - Brainstorming Do's and Don'ts
DISBELIEF: Overcome Limited Imagination and Blind SpotsThe disbelief stall is based on a valid experience, lack of relevant experience, or a previously established circumstance that no longer pertains. The bigger the new idea, the more likely it will boggle the minds of those involved.Consider this: Over a hundred years ago, Alexander Graham Bell supposedly offered his fledgling te
Do make sure you plan for the meeting in advance. You need a skilled facilitator to run the meeting who can stimulate and maintain a free flow of ideas. This is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Far too often, brainstorming facilitators put their stamp on a
"I want my own business, but where do I begin?" You asked.The first requirement for any business is to have a product or service. How will, for example, your service or product be better or different from its current counter-part? Do you provide something others forgot? You pay more attention to detail?What makes my critiquing service more personalized?I address an
Perhaps the most important don't for brainstorming is don't be critical or judgmental of ideas presented during brainstorming. Successful brainstorming generates massive quantities of diverse and sometimes fantastical ideas. Fantastical ideas are good during brainstorming, not bad. You want a high quantity of ideas during brainstorming, not quality. There will be plenty of time later to dissect and analyze.
Do make sure you have a clear purpose for the meeting and stick too it while brainstorming. Tangents and off beat thoughts are great during brainstorming but your purpose should not be to solve all the problems of the universe before the meeting ends. Sometimes a brainstorming facilitator has the almost impossible task of stimulating creativity and, at the same time, making sure ideas are relevant to the task at hand.

Our point of view, perception, and learning are all objects of our knowledge, and these are things that prevent us from going ahead. "I already know everything there is to know about that. I don't need to learn any more." We have arrived only at the fourth rung of the ladder, yet we think it is the top rung. Whatever the value of what our intellect and our insight has attained, we have to abando

Suppose you’ve made the effort to decide what kind of people you’re seeking for your business, and you’ve even gone to the trouble of making sure you hire staff who match those criteria. Is that enough? No it’s not. As the business leader, your last critical activity is to build staff into a team, and there are four areas you should address to accomplish this.TELL ‘EM WHAT’S GOING ON
Do make sure you plan for the meeting in advance. You need a skilled facilitator to run the meeting who can stimulate and maintain a free flow of ideas. This is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Far too often, brainstorming facilitators put their stamp on a meeting and stifle creative ideas even before the meeting gets going. You also need someone who can write very fast so that all the ideas get recorded. The last thing you need is for the meeting to come to a complete stop while someone slowly writes down what was said. You may need a chalkboard or paper to record the ideas so that everyone has a clear view of what has been said.
Do make sure you build off other people's ideas. Sometimes we think too divergently during brainstorming. But just as often, 3 or 4 ideas can come together and trigger a bigger or better idea. The key word is "build". Brainstorming isn't all about divergent tangents.
Don't “rear view mirror” too much during brainstorming. Looking back at the mistakes of the past and what should have been done, will almost always put people on the defensive. Once the blame game starts in a meeting, it is almost impossible for a facilitator to reestablish creativity.
