Start Brainstorming Process Individually, Then Move to Group Process
When people work as a group to brainstorm it limits novelty and creativity. People censor what they believe a group will accept ( Groupthink).
Research has found that brainstorming ought to begin with the individual where a person has sometime to relax.
Then, perhaps after a couple of days, come together as a group and use the private brainstorming ideas as springboards for group ideas and discussion.

Start Brainstorming Process Individually
Very much agree. We have been losing the power of individual thinking and have failed to encourage people to learn personal persistence in this area.
Starting with group brainstorming results in the views of a minority dominating and lends itself to network bias.
A point strongly emphasised by Susan Cain in her great book 'Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking.'
Thanks, Alex.
