Step by Step for brainstorming:

1) Define your problem or issue as a creative challenge.

A badly designed challenge could lead to lots of ideas which fail to

solve your problem. A well designed creative challenge

generates the best ideas to solve your problem

2) Give yourselves a time limit.

3) Once the brainstorming starts, participants shall give solutions to the problem while the facilitator writes them down.

DO NOT evaluate ideas until the session moves to the evaluation phase.

4) There must be absolutely no criticizing of ideas. No matter, how impossible or how silly an idea is, it must be written down. Laughing is to be encouraged.

The criteria shall be agreed by all .

5) Once your time is up, select a number ideas based on number of criteria.

6) Give each idea a score of 0 to 5 points depending on how well it meets

each criterion. Once all of the ideas have been scored for each criterion,

add up the scores.

7) The idea with the higher scores will best solve your problem. But you should

keep a record of all of your best ideas and their scores in case your best idea turns

out not to be workable.
