Brainstorming tips

Brainstorming is a creative technique used by groups to find possible ideas or solutions for a specific problem. Ideas are written down as members of the group think of them. There is no analysis of the ideas at the time.

The most important thing is to let group members know that there are no bad ideas in brainstorming. The point is to gather as many ideas as possible. There should be no judgment. Ideas can be evaluated later . People should feel free to say whatever they think of.

Even crazy or wild ideas – thinking outside the box – should be welcomed in brainstorming. You never know which ideas will turn out to be the best ones. Sometimes ideas can also be combined. 

Brainstorming doesn't always generate the best ideas, but it can build trust among group members and encourage people to speak more freely without fear of being judged. It can help a team come together.
