2.5.1.9 Brain Storming

A method of shared problem -solving in which all members of a group spontaneously contribute ideas as free information with a view to solve a problem by rapidly generating a variety of possible solutions. Brainstorming is a group problem-solving technique that is intended to help members develop innovative ideas on new approaches to a problem in a free or relaxed unthreatening environment.

It is a form of creative thinking in which judicious reasoning gives a way to creativity. After the brainstorming portion of the meeting has been completed, the leader or group should arrange all the ideas into related categories to prioritize and evaluate them. These lists can then be evaluated and modified by the group as needed in order to settle on a course of action to pursue.
