43. Brainstorming rules
Don’t Do it the IDEO way
- the boss speaks first + defer judgment
- everybody gets a turn + build on the ideas of others
- experts only please + encourage wild ideas
- do it off-site + go for quantity
- no silly stuff + be visual
- write down everything + stay focused on the topic
+ one conversation at a time

Seeing is believing
Touching is reality”
