0:26where brainstorming comes in let's start
0:29with setting the stage for Success the
0:32first rule in brainstorming is simple no
0:35idea is too small and no idea is too
0:38silly encourage wild out of the box
0:41thinking this is the soil where great
0:45ideas grow here are the other ground
0:48rules for Effective
0:50brainstorming encourage open dialogue
0:53ensure everyone speaks and listens with
0:56respect remember the goal is to explore
0:59as many ideas as possible aim for volume
1:04the more ideas the better it's often
1:07from this abundance that the most
1:09Innovative and effective Solutions
1:11emerge withhold criticism avoid judging
1:16any idea during the session critiques
1:18can shut down creativity and discourage
1:21participation build on others ideas use
1:25phrases like yes and to expand on
1:28thoughts rather than dismissing them
1:31stay focused on the goal keep the
1:34session directed towards a specific
1:36problem you're trying to solve document

1:49brainstorming we start with the just
1:52spit it out method here participants are
1:55encouraged to unleash their thoughts
1:57without filters or fear of critique

2:03idea no matter how unconventional gets a
2:07chance to shine this open Forum often
2:10Sparks surprising bursts of Genius
2:13providing fertile ground for innovative
2:16solutions it shows how a simple
2:18unstructured approach can lead to
2:21groundbreaking
2:22ideas then there is mind mapping a
2:25dynamic and visual approach to
2:28brainstorming imagine imagine starting
2:30with your main idea or question at the
2:33center of a page from the central node
2:37Branch out like the limbs of a tree
2:39adding related ideas as they
2:42spontaneously occur to you each branch
2:45represents a different aspect or
2:47solution effectively creating a visual
2:50road map of your thoughts the benefits
2:53of this approach are
2:56significant next there is R storming

3:01pretend you're someone else for example

3:10another might take on the perspective of
3:12an environmental activist this method
3:15allows the team to uncover unique
3:17insights and ideas that they might not
3:20consider in their usual
3:22roles turning now to brain writing

4:07mixing ideas from different places for
4:10instance a tech company might explore
4:13Concepts from the fashion industry to
4:15innovate on variable
4:18technology or a health startup might
4:20look into gaming to make Physical
