Brainstorming Ideas
1.State session objectives
Each session should have a precise objective--clear
to all and narrow enough to accomplish in the session. Avoid digression
from the objective.
2. Use a round-robin technique
- Go around the group from individual to individual.
- Individuals may "pass" if they have nothing to contribute.
- Stop when no one has anything to contribute.
3. Discuss and select
Restate the objective, then identify those items that
everyone agrees are "winners" Then select those items that everyone
agrees are "losers" Then discuss the items remaining--the "maybes".
Set a fixed time limit on discussion. Then, for each item, either
decide its status or postpone explicitly until more information is
available.
