We call those people the “silent thinkers,” and BrainWriting is a group problem-solving technique specifically designed to help “level the playing field,” so everybody in the session has an equal opportunity to share ideas and contribute to finding a solution. BrainWriting is simple, but extremely effective. And best of all, it’s done in silence. No conversation, no arguments, no debates. Just positive collaboration that leads to bigger, better, more innovative ideas! In this video, SmartStorming partners Mitchell Rigie and Keith Harmeyer introduce BrainWriting and provide detailed instructions for how to do it the next time you have to generate ideas with your team. Complete instructions for BrainWriting and 19 other problem-solving techniques are included in our book, SmartStorming: The Game-Changing Process for Generating Bigger, Better Ideas - available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and through our website at https://www.SmartStorming.com/book.

In fact, there are countless problem-solving techniques that are designed to help you or your team think in a variety of different directions – and open your mind to new, unexpected possibilities. One of our favorite techniques is called “Idea Sprinting,” a fast-paced, beat-the-clock technique that helps free your mind, eliminate self-consciousness and judgment, and get lots of “idea starters” on the table very quickly. In this episode, SmartStorming partners Mitchell Rigie and Keith Harmeyer introduce Idea Sprinting, and provide detailed instructions for just how to do it the next time you have to generate ideas.  Complete instructions for Idea Sprinting and 19 other problem-solving techniques are included in our book, SmartStorming: The Game-Changing Process for Generating Bigger, Better Ideas - available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and through our website at https://www.SmartStorming.com/book.

Keith Harmeyer is all about ideas! He is an expert in innovative thinking, creative problem solving, and idea generation who spent over two decades coming up with great ideas for some of the world’s best known and most successful companies (such as JPMorgan Chase, Disney, Conde Nast, and McDonald’s).   Now, as a Founding Partner of SmartStorming and co-author of SmartStorming: The Game Changing Process for Generating Bigger, Better Ideas, Keith is providing other organizations with the expertise, structure, skills, and proven idea generation techniques they need to develop their own ground-breaking ideas and innovate.   What exactly is innovation?   Keith defines innovation as “the introduction of something new or different that provides greater value or benefit.” If it’s different just for the sake of being different, that’s novelty.   We tend to think of innovation in big terms, on an organizational level, but it all starts with the individual people within an organization.   When the people within an organization learn how to be more creative in their thinking and more innovative in how they approach their work, then you see innovation surface on an organizational level.   Why do we need to innovate?   We are now under continuous, constant pressure to reinvent ourselves and the value we deliver to our customers, clients, and the organizations we work for – and, once again, it’s not just at the organizational level. Each one of us is under that same pressure.   If you don’t disrupt your industry and your business… well, then somebody else is going to disrupt it for you, and you may not be able to keep up.     Resources: Learn more at SmartStorming.com Connect with Keith on LinkedIn Read: SmartStorming: The Game Changing Process for Generating Bigger, Better Ideas --   Production & Development for Improv Is No Joke by Podcast Masters Learn more about your ad choices.
