Brainstorming is a lateral thinking process used to stimulate creative thinking by generating many ideas without criticism. It defines the problem, sets a time limit of 25-30 minutes for shouting out solutions, and writes down all ideas without judgment. Laughing is encouraged to promote free flowing thoughts. After, the top five ideas are selected and scored against criteria to determine the highest scoring solution. Records are kept in case the best idea needs revising.

Because one want to encourage the free flow of ideas and as soon as participants of the brainstorming session begin to fear criticism of their ideas, they will stop generating ideas. Moreover, Ideas that first seem silly may prove to be very good or may lead to ideas that are very good. Once time is up, select five best ideas and make sure everyone involved in the brainstorming session is in agreement. Write down about five criteria for judging which ideas best solve the problem Give each idea a score of 0 to 5 points depending on how well it meets each criterion. Once all of the ideas have been scored for each criterion, add up the scores.
