Brainstorming Solving problems can begin with a wide open process where imagination and unusual ideas are brainstormed without any evaluation as to whether the ideas might work. The goal is to consider all “far out” and “unorthodox” possible solutions to the problem. Brainstorming encourages “ out of the box ” thinking that borders on sounding somewhat wild and crazy. During BRAINSTORMING, ideas are tossed into the ring and added to the list of potential solutions Without being evaluated. Participants are asked to withhold judgment on ideas until the brainstorming phase is over.
