Brainstorming


One of the popular effective method used in developing Mindspower through creativity is a tool known as Brainstorming.

There is a brainstorming technique is a technique called developmental thinking, which is used to explore ideas, which are attractive but not yet feasible. In simple terms, if two people, A and B are discussing an idea given by A, B, as a discipline, should identify three elements which he likes about the idea. This encourages A. B then goes on to give an itemized response on his specific concerns about the idea. The concerns are specific and they identify problem areas for A to solve. Instead of being adversaries on opposite sides of a problem, A and B become partners in growing the idea in a peaceful, nurturing climate. There is a great deal of work done by various thinkers on how to make the group climate more creative and less hostile. What happens in developmental thinking is that all potentially positive features of the ideas are identified and the deficiencies are used to give the direction for improvement, preserving the element of novelty while the idea is modified to make it feasible. This process is a contrast to the conventional screening of ideas into ”good” and “bad” after a typical brainstorming session, when novel ideas are likely to be screened out because they are not feasible.
