Brainstorming variations One approach is to seed the session with a word pulled randomly from a dictionary. Use this word as a starting point bin the process of generation ideas. When the participants say they cant think of any more idea then give them

about 15 more minutes as the ideas something come to words the end of a longer thought process. Brainstorming can either be carried out by individual or groups. When done individually, brainstorming tends to produce a eider range of ideas than group brainstorming as individual are free to explore ideas in their own time without any fear or criticism. On the other hand, groups tend to develop the ideas more effectively due to the wider range of diversity. Keep all the generated ideas visible. As a flip chart page becomes full, remove it from the pad and tape it to a wall as that as visible. This combined recollection is helpful for creating new ideas.

All communication is normally in writing (normally letter or email) members of the groups are selected because they are export or they have relevant steps include: Members are asked to share their assessment and explanation of a problem or predict a future stat of affairs. Replies are gathered, summarized, and then fed back to all the group members. Members then make another decision based upon the new information The process may be repeated until the responses coverage satisfactory. The success of this process depends upon the members expertise and communication skill. Each response required adequate time for reflection and analysis. The major merit of the Delphi process is: Elimination of interpersonal problems. Efficient use of experts time. Accuracy of solution and prediction.
