Brainstorming

Many of us use brainstorming or "thought showers" as it is referred to by many.  Sometimes it is relatively simple.  When you want to achieve a breakthrough however, call on us to ensure all the best ideas are on the table and have been explored throroughly, before being dismissed.

Using brainstorming to its full potential is not always straightforward. 

To get great ideas from brainstorming to help provide the solutions you need requires three key elements:

1. An effective chairman who achieves solutions and can pull together and control a very diverse group of people
   
2. Clear guidelines to allow the best ideas not to be killed or stifled too early
   
3. Senior management agreement to adopt the best solutions.
