Balls, Brainstorming and Brilliant Ideas
Posted by Jayne April 30 2010 01:43pm
Last month a report claiming that brainstorms are useless hit the papers. 
The scientists from Texas A&M University claim that instead of fuelling creativity, brainstorms lead to people becoming fixated on the same thoughts of others around them room and that we are better at coming up with creative ideas when alone.

This does seem wise but in a climate where ‘time is money’ can businesses really afford to spend so much time coming up with solutions?
Here at Komodo, we believe that if brainstorms are done properly, they can produce some really fantastic results and act as a great way of interacting with your team. It doesn’t need to take long either!

Inspiration can come from unexpected places.
I enjoy lists, and reading Chris Evans’ autobiography he starts each chapter with a list.
Talking about his deal with Richard Branson for Virgin Radio, he lists 10 things to get a deal done:
Timing
Energy
Honesty
Holding your nerve
Two willing parties
Money in place
A man on the inside
Two men on the inside
A pen
A good summary, with points three and four of particular importance, be it business or personal.
