A free tool to get feedback and gather ideas.
The concept of traditional brainstorming–that is, throwing a bunch of people in a room together and telling them to come up with ideas–has come under fire a lot over the past couple of years. In fact, many claim that the process simply doesn’t work.
If you’ve ever been in a meeting where the rule is “no criticism, just new ideas,” you know the rule doesn’t hold up too well. Even if people hold their tongues and control their body language, the personal fear over “proposing something stupid” or “being judged” by colleagues can quickly kill innovation.
There are two factors you can remove to let ideas flow: 1) Identity. 2) The presence of others.
We all know the value of the comment box. While it can be abused, the tendency is for people to offer honest feedback if their identity is protected. The same can go for generating new ideas. Given solitude and freedom from feeling their name will be associated with a “dumb idea,” people are surprisingly productive.
