Brainstorming: Generating Many Radical, Creative Ideas

Group or Individual Brainstorming?
While group brainstorming is often more effective at generating ideas than normal group problem solving, several studies have shown that individual brainstorming produces more – and often better – ideas than group brainstorming.
Individual brainstorming can produce better ideas because you're less likely to run into counter-productive behaviors.
However, the best brainstorming takes advantage of both individual and group work.

Tips on Individual Brainstorming
- Find comfortable setting
- Minimize distractions
- Use tools you're comfortable with (e.g., mind maps)

- Develop list of related questions
- Record your first idea

Tips on Group Brainstorming
- Collect a diverse group with varied backgrounds, areas of expertise, and experience levels
- Set up comfortable environment with all the tools, resources, and refreshments you may need
- Present and define the problem
- Give people time to come up with ideas individually (see previous tips for individual brainstorming), then share with the group (round-robin will give each person the best opportunity to contribute)
- Guide the discussion to build on each idea, generating spinoff ideas
- Take breaks as needed, and allow individuals to break away as they need

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!

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!
