Brainstorming is one of the widely used methods of getting ideas from people. People from different background with different thinking perspective may bring ideas that you as a business leader may or may not agree to. I feel brainstorming does work just to curtain extent, far as school goes. Maybe not like he point out in meeting where as a group of people are put together to come up with in idea and of course like the video point out they are going to be a lot of bumping heads.

RSA Shorts - Does Brainstorming Work?
I don't agree this assertion that brainstorming does not work. I think brainstorming is an integral start to idea creation, because it allows employees in work teams to let their brains work to bring up any and all ideas and solutions to a problem or process. To evolve ideas from a brainstorming session to workable plans, though, employees will need to shift to other planning techniques like Delphi technique or nominal group planning. At this point criticism will come into play to mold and shift ideas to best suit the needed outcome.

TITLE - RSA Shorts - Does Brainstorming Work?
Brainstorming has become less effective when generating new ideas because we are taught not to criticize others' ideas. Every idea is a good idea, according to brainstorming technique. Since our imagination is meak and shy, criticism of our ideas can cause us to become less engaged in the brainstorming process. Studies have shown that people who debate ideas and speak their minds are more likely to generate more ideas and express more creativity. Brainstorming can lead to superficial and cliche ideas in which are as useful as original ideas. I think when working as a group it is important to remain honest and professional and respect others ideas.

Brainstorming is something that can be very useful to a company. I think the video is dead on with how brainstorming actually works. When brainstorming, we must remember to not criticize others ideas because they are just that, ideas. Brainstorming is just a process where everyone throws out ideas and others feed off those ideas and come up with bigger and better ideas. By no means does your idea have any more importance than anyone else and we have to remember that throughout the process.

Brainstorming is very important! And it does work, but you do not criticize others people brainstorming ideas. Any idea given can be implemented a different way, maybe someone brainstorming is missing a piece that that idea alone can make it complete. It is important to listen to everyone ideas and not criticize them. I think getting a group together working with different ideas is very beneficial but people need to not criticize the ideas rather just work together.

A good brainstorming is needed when trying to come up with Ideas and plans, this is the best stage simply because no idea is wrong, its your chance to brain dump and get everything that you possibly thing could work out your head. Some people don't like brainstorming because they feel as though there ideas isn't "good" enough, not only must we allot Ideas to flow but we must challenge ideas with downing or having negative feedback. A person will shy away if they feel as though they are being belittled.

I agree with this video but then I don't. I believe that in some ways brainstorming does work. I feel like in a meeting you can brainstorm with other coworkers who in turn bring ideas to the table that may spark another idea that you have in mind. Then on the other hand I feel that some individuals work better alone and on there on. I guess this is just sort of an opinion. Also, I understand that some people can't take criticism, but it is a skill that people need to learn to hold on to. Learning how to take criticism will help you in the long run. My father always criticized me and my brothers in the sports we played, but he also was there to pick us back. He was never a parent that told us that we were perfect. He wanted us to learn how to take criticism because in the real world you are never told that you are perfect and you will be criticized all the time, and you must learn how to take it.

I agree with this video, that in order to have good ideas, constructive criticism is needed, or else you will not have good ideas that have meaning and substance. When brainstorming, I think it is important not to judge or turn down answers, but you can build off answers and make suggestions to suggestions...if that makes since. I also think it is a good idea to have people right down ideas first then submit them to a group for criticism candidly.

This video is very interesting, I like the content it relayed to me and I agree. The only way to properly brainstorm for an idea is to engage in criticism of the idea. If an idea can make it out of a brainstorm phase then you will have a great idea to run with for the later steps. I have always heard this stupid notion of letting people speak their mind and not say anything if the idea is bad. I don't like this point of view because it reminds me of the phrase "play nice" we hear as children. If I am assigned a group and we have to come up with something innovative, you better believe that every idea will be stupid until one isn't. The only way to figure out if one can pass as a great idea is by putting it through criticism, who knows maybe when using this tool it will lead you to a better idea then the original.

I never really thought of brainstorming as something you do within a group; but now that I think about it, I guess that makes more sense. Criticism can be as equally helpful as it can be harmful to the process of brainstorming. It can push you to want to dig deeper into a thought. But if you take it negatively, it can also make you not want to scratch pass the surface.

Brainstorming is one of the most important steps to be taken when planning any situation. The video shows us the key point to a successful brainstorming session. The idea not to criticize your colleagues brainstorms is a great thing! Any idea can be helpful and you do not want to put someone down that could later on be helpful but have become afraid to share their idea.

This video is titled "Does brainstorming work?" The most important rule in brainstorming is don't criticize. This rule is the reason why brainstorming doesn't work. It is importtant that we criticize each other because if we don't we fall into a superficial idea that every idea is a good idea. Criticism is what excites us and makes us strive to have good ideas.

I would share this video with friends and colleagues. Thank you professor! Brainstorming is very important especially when you are doing a project or trying to come up with a solution to a challenge or problem. When you criticize it should really be constructive criticism because when you you insult someone's ego depending on the person it could really affect that person. When brainstorming it is always good to come up with a resolution in order to overcome the challenge and be a better company

The debate and dissent approach seems to be much more effective than traditional brainstorming sessions. While I don't feel like bad ideas should be harshly criticized and put down, debate in a professional manner should definitely be encouraged instead of indiscriminately recognizing all ideas put forth.

If the video holds true than brainstorming’s effectiveness is a long standing lie which I have mistaken for truth. I never put much thought into the subject, except for now. All throughout my life, especially in elementary school my teachers taught brainstorming as a strong thinking tool. Perhaps, effective implementation is conditional upon the people and situation of a group? However, I certainly agree with the video to an extent as getting together can lead to group thinking or lazy thinking. I would like to hear more on this topic.
