Guidelines for Subgroup Idea Selection in Brainstorming PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide 7 Steps to Brainstorming PowerPoint presentation, outlines a critical step in the brainstorming process, focusing on how subgroups should identify their leading ideas. It begins by establishing the context, noting that a subgroup typically generates around 15 viable ideas by daybreak, contributing to a collective output of up to 60 ideas from a 20-person team working in parallel. This sets the stage for a structured approach to refining those ideas.

The underlying process emphasizes that the selection of the best ideas should not fall to the subgroup members themselves. Instead, this task is reserved for senior management, who possess the necessary insights and judgment for effective evaluation. This distinction is crucial, as it prevents potential biases and ensures that the most promising ideas are recognized.

The slide advises against the practice of declaring winners at the end of brainstorming sessions, labeling it as counterproductive. Instead, all subgroups are encouraged to shortlist their top ideas and present them to the larger group. This collaborative review serves to motivate participants and foster a sense of shared purpose.

Finally, it underscores the importance of clear communication from leadership. Participants should be informed about the next steps regarding which ideas will be implemented. This transparency is vital for maintaining engagement and ensuring that all contributors feel valued in the decision-making process. Overall, the slide provides a structured framework for enhancing the effectiveness of brainstorming sessions through careful idea selection and leadership involvement.
