= Introduction =

In Chapter 33 of his 1948 book ‘Your Creative Power’, Alex Osborn gave one of the first definitions of brainstorm thus: “When a group works together, the members should engage in a ‘brainstorm’… using the brain to ‘storm’ a creative problem and doing so in commando fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective.”

Similarly, in modern commercial and academic usage, a brainstorm is a meeting of minds designed to generate new ideas. Typically, a group of two or more people will meet for a set time period – which may be anything from 10 minutes and upwards – and discuss the matter in question. The hope is that pooling thoughts, ideas, viewpoints and comments may bring increased focus, rigour and generate new perspectives on a matter that might otherwise have not come to the fore.

There may be a set agenda for the brainstorm but often the meeting will be informal and unstructured. Attendees may contribute at any time they feel they have a valid contribution. A flip-pad or whiteboard are often used to allow ideas generated to be jotted down for all to see. The writing will be allocated to one of the meeting’s attendees.

Meetings of this nature used to require a physical presence at a particular. However, the rise of the internet now allows brainstorms to be conducted over Skype, allowing participation by attendees locate in a diverse range of global locations. Such meetings are no less effective than venue-based ones.
