1.DON’T JUDGE

TIP    Welcome  unusual  

ideas  

If  all  judgement  is  suspended,  the  good  ideas  are  more  likely  to  flow.  You  never  know  where  ideas  will  come  from,  so  the  key  is  to  make  everyone  feel  comfortable  enough  to  speak  

out,  even  if  their  ideas  are  unusual

2.THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

TIP    Let  your  

thoughts  fly  free  

Unusual  ideas  can  be  generated  by  suspending  assump>ons  and  thinking  outside  of  the  box.  These  new  ideas  may  lead  to  be@er  solu>ons

3.BUILD ON THE IDEAS OF OTHERS

TIP    Combine  and  

improve  

Ideas  should  be  combined  to  form  a  single  be@er  idea.  Good  ideas  are  s>mulated  by  a  process  of  associa>on.  Par>cipants  should  focus  on  extending  or  adding  to  ideas,  reserving  any  cri>cism  for  a  later  stage

suggest  relevant  ideas  

TIP    Keep  the  

discussion  on  target

The  more  ideas  that  are  generated,  the  be@er.  This  >p  is  based  on  the  assump>on  that  quanBty  breeds  quality.  If  more  ideas  are  put  forward,  the  chance  of  coming  up  with  

a  workable  solu>on  should  increase  TIP  Focus  on  quanBty
