“Rules” of the Road Collect as many ideas as possible with no criticisms or judgments made while ideas are being generated. All ideas are welcome no matter how silly or far out they seem. Be creative. Every person and every idea has equal worth Don’t focus on detail. Keep ideas at a high level. Build on others' ideas. Reverse the thought of 'quality over quantity.' Here we want quantity; the more creative ideas the better. Write all ideas on a flipchart so the whole group can easily see them. Respect timeframes.
