Projects seldom run smooth -in other words- they are encountered with several issues and problems for several reasons which needed to fix with best solutions for successful completion of project.
Brainstorming is technique usually adopted by team members looking for generating ideas, risks, and solutions for issues. A facilitator records the participant’s ideas for later analysis and solution.
However, to produce best results from brainstorming session, following are the key areas needed to be considering;
1. Planning: poor planning such as, setting out unclear objectives, can be one reason for not achieving the results of brainstorming for solutions.
2. Strong Facilitation: strong facilitation is required to avoid focusing on irrelevant topics and issues.
3. Information Gathering: develop the viable mechanism of gathering the information depending upon the size of participants. The recording tools could be flip charts or some kind of computer aided tool.
4. Consensus: work with the attendees to reach a common understanding and consensus during a session, means everyone plays a part in the analysis and solution.
5. Action Plan: creates an action plan which helps to gain buy-in from the attendees and implement the action plan straightaway.
6. Follow Up: Don’t forget to follow-up the agreed target dates.
