Brainwriting
Reference model
Brainwriting encourages quiet reflection and builds on the ideas of others.
About this model
A structured brainstorming technique where participants write down ideas independently before sharing them with the group.
Originator not stated.
How to read it
- Focus on the quantity of ideas generated.
- Look for patterns or themes in the written ideas.
What this does
Generates a large number of ideas in a short time by allowing participants to write down their thoughts anonymously, which can then be built upon by others.
When to use it
Use it when a team needs to generate creative ideas without the influence of dominant voices or when brainstorming in a noisy environment.
Not when: Do not use it when the group is too small to generate diverse ideas or when immediate feedback and discussion are essential.
What happens next
Review the ideas generated and select the most promising ones for further development.
