Breakthrough thinking. Everybody wants it, but how do you get it?
Breakthrough thinking is
something many businesses seek in order to get that �next big idea�. But how do they go about getting
it? Oftentimes they will hold
brainstorming sessions with various personnel to generate new business
ideas. But how the brainstorming
is conducted has a huge influence on how �breakthrough� the thinking will
be. To have truly inspired
brainstorming you need an objective third party to conduct the session. The facilitator should have a
methodology that takes people out of the day-to-day running of the business, as
well as innovative techniques that not only encourage but drive breakthrough
thinking to render truly creative and unique ideas. Would you ever hire an external consultant to facilitate your
brainstorming sessions, and if so, for what types of projects? What would you look for in a
brainstorming facilitator?
