Brainstorming helps everyone feel they have contributed to the solution. It is also fun and a great way to support team building.

Evaluate ideas at the end of a session. This is the time to explore possible solutions in more depth.

Several brainstorming techniques exist. Brainstorming techniques that apply visual activities include Group Sketching, Mind Mapping, and Story Boarding.

Idea sorting techniques incorporate activities such as S.C.A.M.P.E.R, Word Banking, and S.W.O.T Analysis.

Finally, creative exercises and games include Wishing, Brain Writing, and Alter-Ego/Hero.
