Setting the Stage

• How the meeting room is set, makes a big difference in the success of a brainstorming session.
  • Insure there are plenty of writing implements.
    • Color pens, markers, etc.
  • Insure there are plenty of writing paper.
    • Flip charts, notes, etc.

• Each person should also have pen and paper so they can write down their personal ideas at the same time as ideas shouted out by other people are being written down elsewhere.
  • The cost of extra pads is very small compared to the loss of a potential winning solution.
  • Make sure no ideas are lost.
