By concentrating solely on the bulge
at the centre of the bell curve we
are more likely to confirm what we
already know than learn something
new and surprising.

From Change by Design, by Tim Brown
Brainstorming Rules
Defer judgment. There are no bad
ideas at this point. There will be
plenty of time to narrow them down
later.
Encourage wild ideas. Even if an
idea doesn’t seem realistic, it may
spark a great idea for someone else.
Build on the ideas of others. Think
“and” rather than “but.”
Stay focused on topic. To get more
out of your session, keep your
brainstorm question in sight.
One conversation at a time. All
ideas need to be heard, so that they
may be built upon.
Be visual. Draw your ideas, as
opposed to just writing them down.
Stick figures and simple sketches can
say more than many words.
Go for quantity. Set an outrageous
goal—then surpass it. The best way
to find one good idea is to come up
with lots of ideas.
From Design Thinking for Educators, by Riverdale Country School and IDEO

provide an accessible immersive
