Brainstorm and Post all Ideas. Participants work quietly by themselves writing down possible solutions to the stated problem. Each idea is written in large letters on a separate card or piece of paper. As in brainstorming, the quantity of ideas is what is important at this stage in the process. This should be quiet time with no discussion or talking.
Participants talk about what they have written on the cards.
This discussion should generate more ideas. Encourage group thinking. Review Each Card for Meaning. After the brainstorming period, participants should take a few minutes to look at all of the items posted on the wall. Participants can ask for clarification on any item that is unclear.
