Thank you Allen, for adding these very important points. I will add it to the article and can only agree with you about focusing too much on the problem itself! That’s what people get hung up on far too often and this is also what the moderator should always try to prevent.

However, I did not see the word facilitator mentioned in the text. This is very important to a brainstorming approach to ensure the team remains focused, there is no attribution, application of inclusion principles, and utilize systems engineering techniques (e.g. PICK Charts, Fishbone Analysis, SMART technique, etc.) to arrive at viable problem statements and subsequent potential solutions. It has been my experience that brainstorming with a team that has been trained in brainstorming techniques, total quality management (or quality management systems), and a clear understanding regarding “what’s in it for US” results in highly usable solutions. One point that is mentioned in the article is a clear problem statement. We ae taught at a very early age to clearly state and understand the problem. Problem statement, the scope and intended solution use frequently are the root cause for failure.
