Brainstorming - Dealing with Excess of Information

Brainstorming - Dealing with Excess of Information

My latest brainstorming meetings for SWOT analysis generated more (much more) material than I expected, directed to several companies areas.
I have now a great deal of information to treat.
Is there a special method to solve this issue?
The ideas are pre-classified, but still it would take a lot of effort to treat them all.

	Brainstorming - Dealing with Excessive Amount of Information After having collected a big bunch of ideas (that is what brainstorming is about) and having classified them, I would focus on a top 5 or top 10, whatever. Ask all the participants to rate the ideas with points e.g. 1-5 per idea. Than add all points up and you get a classification in points, weighted results so to say. Furthermore you could classify the ideas in short term or long term actions / effects
