Tips For Brainstorming
Brainstorming is one of many creative problem solving techniques. While you can use any size group, we believe it works best when done in a facilitated group of 5-10 people. The more diverse the group the more diverse the input. The group members don't need to be experts in your field. In fact, they don't need to know anything about the problem topic at all! The following steps I use in my Many Good Ideas Brainstorming Seminars:
Diversity and Networking
Question: I recently visited a networking group but, I’m hesitant to join because it is mostly made up of small business owners and sales people.

Do You Have A Brainstorming Partner?
Most small business owners don't have a person or a group of people to effectively brainstorm with. Quite often, it's simply the business owner throwing his or her ideas on the table and the staff just nodding their heads in agreement without really bringing too much to the discussion. Or the owner simply talking to himself or herself. If you are a successful business owner or if you know any successful business owners, chances are pretty high that they'll have a brainstorming group they meet with regularly. They may refer to it as a mastermind group, a sounding board, a partner, a business coach, or just someone to bounce ideas off.
