It is a simple, yet powerful tool used in virtually all industries. The term was originally introduced in the year 1942 by Alex Oxford in his book “How to think up” and has now become one of best known idea generation method in the world. Brainstorming combines a relaxed, informal approach to problem solving providing an open environment that encourages everyone involved to participate. No idea is a bad idea no matter how wild they are and people are given the freedom of mind and action to spark off and reveal new ideas. Therefore, people should avoid criticizing or rewarding ideas during the brainstorming session as it limits the idea generation and creativity. [1] [2] [3]
