The Problem with Traditional Brainstorming

The Problem with Traditional Brainstorming

Research in behavioral science classifies the benefits of brainstorming in two ways:

  • Synergy: Ideas shared by one person can energize, inspire, and trigger ideas in other people.
  • Social facilitation: Collaborating to reach a common goal can motivate everyone in the group.

These benefits, however, also come with some downsides. A major one is production blocking, a term used to describe a situation when someone has an innovative idea that gets lost in the mix because the larger group is focused on a different topic.

How to Run a Great (Virtual) Brainstorming Session

  • Pick a shared collaboration tool that works for your team. Members should be able to sign in virtually.
  • Generate and organize ideas. Give all team members 10 to 15 minutes to add their ideas independently to your collaboration tool. If you are running the brainstorm asynchronously, ask team members to submit their ideas by an assigned deadline.
  •  Evaluate. 10 minutes for an anonymous feedback session in which team members can comment on, rate, or vote for their favorite contribution. This may be done asynchronously as well.
  • Meet to discuss shortlisted ideas

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
