Brainstorming

Firstly can I just say how much I LOVE Twitter. Not only do I love the way you can follow people you already know and respect ... but the power of Twitter is meeting new people from all around the world who decide to follow you and introduce themselves.

As a researcher I am always interested to read about different brainstorming techniques and processes. It can be hard to find resources that provide handy examples and thoughts on the nitty gritty of running an effective brainstorming session. So I was delighted to come across this site, (which also links you to other relevant posts on the topic):

Something quite simple and essential is understanding the way ideas 'emerge':

It’s essential to know ideas come to you in waves. Especially within a brainstorm where the real advantage is the ability to get inspired by each other’s ideas. Mix up concepts and contexts and take ideas to new levels. Everyone generates ideas, and everyone can mix and match or add their own interpretations to those ideas to create new concepts. Below is a visual representation of these waves, and incremental creativeness of its 3 participants during a brainstorm session.















So have a look around on this site if this is also an area of interest.
