Have you ever gathered your team to brainstorm and been disappointed with the results? Have you left the meeting without any useful ideas, feeling like your time has been wasted, and knowing that you've wasted the time of your team? That happens. Unfortunately, the way we host brainstorming meetings isn't effective. The usual format often leaves the best ideas unsaid or, even worse, not even thought of. A suggestion is that you change your brainstorming format all together.
