Essential Rules for Effective Consulting Brainstorming PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide Brainstorming for Consultants PowerPoint presentation, outlines 3 essential rules for effective brainstorming within a consulting context. Each rule is presented in a structured format, emphasizing clarity and actionable steps.

The first rule, "Define the issue," stresses the importance of establishing a clear definition before initiating brainstorming sessions. It highlights that misinterpretation at this stage can lead to ineffective outcomes. The guidance here is straightforward: always confirm the definition to ensure that all participants are aligned on the problem being addressed.

The second rule focuses on "Brainstorm via building a Decision Tree." This approach advocates for the visualization of ideas through a decision tree, which serves as a framework for organizing thoughts. The slide notes that if participants struggle to visualize this structure, it indicates a lack of clarity in their thinking. This method encourages a systematic exploration of options and potential solutions, enhancing the brainstorming process.

The third rule, "Think and speak of 'Drivers,'" introduces the concept of identifying key drivers that influence the decision-making process. It suggests that using the language of drivers is crucial for developing the decision tree effectively. Prioritizing these drivers helps streamline discussions and focus on the most impactful factors.

Overall, the slide conveys that adhering to these 3 rules not only enhances brainstorming effectiveness, but also leads to more structured and productive outcomes. For consultants looking to refine their brainstorming techniques, this framework provides a solid foundation for achieving clearer, more actionable insights.
