Set the Stage for Productive Brainstorming

*Clearly state the purpose. *Keep the session short. *Insist that everyone participate. *Do not interpret speaker's words. *No criticism. *Quantity of ideas count. *Encourage the association of ideas to create new combinations. *Record ideas on a flipchart or blackboard.
