Brainstorming Carillon Technologies Limited Brainstorming Brainstorming is a technique for generating ideas. In this process, members share ideas that come to mind, no matter how strange or far-fetched these ideas seem. Sometimes such ideas are the very ones that lead to solutions. When brainstorming, no criticisms or judgements are allowed, and the session should be open and free-wheeling.
Large groups are unwieldy.
Select one person, the scribe, to write down the ideas on a large paper or easel pad. Agree upon a clear problem statement. Go around the group, with each member giving one idea at his or her turn. Continue brainstorming until all members have passed.
