PeopleGet something big to write on: blackboard, whiteboard, or wall paper.
Have a marker to write with.
Get other people to write ideas they hear.
To catch what you miss.
At the top of the board, write one or two questions you want answered.
What questions do we need to answer?
Everybody's job is to suggest ideas that might help to answer the questions.
Everybody: None of this "hold up your hand and wait to be called on." If you think of something to say, say it. If it doesn’t get on the board, say it again.

Everybody: The team’s job is to get lots of different ideas on the board.
Any idea is good as long as it has to do with answering the questions. Strange and funny ideas are OKAY.
Criticism is OUT. Criticism will sabotage any brainstorming session.
When people run out of ideas, take a break. During the break, look for ideas that are similar to each other. Put similar ideas close together.
