Rules for Brainstorming
- No criticism, evaluation,
judgment, or defense of ideas during the brainstorming session.
- No limit on "wild" ideas,
no matter how outrageous or impractical they seem. Every idea is to
be expressed.
- Quantity is more
desirable than quality.
- "Piggybacking"-
building on ideas - is encouraged.
- Everyone must be
encouraged to participate.
- Record all ideas
- i.e.: on a piece of flipchart paper.
- Choose " top
5 ideas" - combine similar ideas when appropriate.
- Individually rank
ideas.
- Decide, as a group,
which idea will be enacted first.
- Begin the brainstorming
process again as necessary.
