Brainstorming: How to Create More Ideas and Better IdeasApril 28, 2022 On Thursday, April 28 the HCD Community of Practice explored brainstorming. A brainstorming session likely comes to mind when tasked with generating ideas to solve a problem or dream up an innovative solution. But does it work? Quick answer: Yes. But if facilitated poorly or approached with a rigid perspective, it may lead to groupthink or an environment where good ideas go to die—the opposite of what you set out to accomplish. Whether facilitating or participating in a brainstorming session, you will succeed by approaching the process with a creative mindset and embracing best practices. So, what does success look like? More and better ideas! The session included: - A definition of brainstorming
- How to protect and nurture ideas
- Virtual brainstorming warm-up exercises
- Brainstorming best practices
