Learning how to harness the power of creative brainstorming can hugely impact your business. If you don’t know where to start, here are some ideas that can help.
Brainstorming business ideas tends to be more effective when you work as a team, as more brains lead to more ideas. However, there is value in individual brainstorming as well. These are some brainstorming techniques you can do alone or in a group:
As mentioned, it’s advantageous to do brainstorming activities as a team. These ideas can be completed either in person or, with a few tweaks, during a virtual meeting.
Many team members will feel intimidated at revealing their rough-draft ideas to their manager or the company CEO, so bear this in mind when planning a creative brainstorming session. People are more likely to think out of the box if there is an element of anonymity to these exercises.
However, your culture should encourage employees to share ideas even if they might be considered silly. A bad idea is nowhere near as bad as a good idea left unsaid.
Brainstorming business ideas should be an activity the entire team gets excited about. However, if you need to breathe new life into your brainstorming meetings, a business coach can help.
