Brainstorming 3
If you look up brainstorming in a dictionary, you will find that it is described as 'a sudden clever idea' or 'an inspiration'.
In books about group decision-making, the term has come to mean something like this:
A group of people get together to write down all of their ideas about a problem or situation without stopping to comment on them.
When they have listed all of their ideas, they discuss them and decide on the best ones.
Brainstorming is often used by companies and organisations to produce ideas and help build teams.
If you're going to try brainstorming in a group, you'll get most out of it if everyone sticks to a few rules.
