    3. What is brainstorming The best way how to have a good idea is to have many ideas Alex F. Osborne, 1939 method of thinking up solutions, concepts, ideas in problem solving using the brain to storm new ideas in groups It is easier to tone down a wild idea than to think up a new one.

    4. Why and When Use It the creative process is not always easy (problems of fear, criticism, no existing solutions yet) one person has a limited capacity people tend to judge new ideas immediately (a change is difficult for a human being)

    5. How does it work in a group of people free associations to the topic given relaxed and friendly atmosphere deferred judgements release the human mind, lateral thinking

    6. The key rules relaxed atmosphere - completely free no criticism or judgements quantity matters all ideas legitimate all ideas put on the sheet of paper evaluation only after the session

    7. BENEFITS of brainstorming

    8. Why and When Use It Specific questions: How can we promote our products? What can our company do in 5 years hence? What can we do to solve the problem XY? How can we improve co-operation of A and B? What do our customers really want? What opportunities do we have this year? How can we have more fun at work?

    9. does not rank the ideas cannot help you select the important ones does not suggest the best solutions must be amended by other methods BRAINSTORMING CONSTRAINTS
