Variants of Brainstorming
Brain writing Pool
( 30mins is usually enough for each session)
Developed by the Batelle Institute in Frankfurt, Germany
- The Problem, or Design Brief is explained to the group In silence each individual jots down their ideas on a sheet of paper ( in either written or sketch format ).
- When an individual has created 4 ideas or has a mental block, the paper is placed in the centre of the table.
- They then select a sheet from the centre of the table and try to add more ideas to it.
Each sheet is anonymous and the same sheet could be selected several times. This can be more effective than normal brainstorming.
