Kaleidoscope brainstorming process
advanced brainstorming technique for problem-solving,
team-building and creative process
Brainstorming is a powerful technique for problem-solving,
learning and development, planning and team building.
Brainstorming creates new ideas, motivates and develops teams
because it involves team members in bigger management issues,
and it gets the brainstorming participants working together.
Brainstorming is not a random activity; it follows a process. See
the process for basic brainstorming. Below is an more innovative
advanced method of brainstorming - called 'Silent
Brainstorming' or 'Kaleidoscope Brainstorming' - developed by
Dr KRS Murthy of Nisvara Inc, and the contribution of this model
is gratefully acknowledged. Dr Murthy also refers to the
brainstorming technique as 'Multiple Mind Conferencing'.
Kaleidoscope Brainstorming, Dr Murthy suggests, not only
produces vastly more ideas than conventional brainstorming,
but also acts at a deep level to build teams and harmonious work
groups.
As with the basic brainstorming process, the facilitator has a big
responsibility to manage the activity, people's involvement and
sensitivities, and then to manage the follow up actions. Use
Brainstorming well and you will see excellent results in
improving the organization, performance, and developing the
team. It is useful to review the Johari Window concept and Johari
model diagram along with this article, and when using the
process. This is because much of the value of this concept lies in
developing awareness of self, others, and what others think of
oneself.
