Tips to Prepare Brainstorming Sessions
John Moses, Manager, Nigeria, Member
To prepare an effective strategic brainstorming, the project manager or moderator should
select the team members from each of the functional areas such as finance, marketing, production, quality control, risk management, human resources etc so as to allow cross-fertilisation of ideas.
The
atmosphere and environment must have bearing on the topical issues and allows for optimum participation from the team members.
You can
circulate an outline of the issues to be discussed ahead of time to give room for adequate preparation and consultation. Such a draft could also be produced from the initial session which will be built upon subsequently after critical considerations for implementation.
