The prospect of a brainstorming (BS) session more often than not results in a collective groan in offices around the world.
Some people’s brains are just stormier than others.
“We have been brainstorming for the last 30 mins and have loads of ideas. David has given 30 of the 50 ideas, Judy hasn’t given any and neither has the boss who has been moderating the whole thing with a distinct frown until he mentions ‘Judy, you haven’t got much to say’
We have 12 sheets of flipchart paper each with a small essay on them.”
On the surface it seems like a great result. So why is it that 6 of the 8 people look close to rigor mortis?
