Big Book of Brainstorming Games: Quick, Effective Activities that Encourage Out-of-the-Box Thinking, Improve Collaboration, and Spark Great Ideas!

We do a lot of team-building in our company. These games represent a fresh, effective way at making meetings more productive!

I have several of the books in this series and while the book are very good the solution for some games are not included and more details on the task as at times it was not clear how to execute. But the games I selected to use were very well received by the participants. A lot of the games do not need a lot of props which is good.

Thank you for the book. It's in great shape.

I have facilitated lots of meetings and helped many teams with their brainstorming using the traditional methods and a few creative alternatives, so I know what it takes to lead idea generation. Scannell and Multihull's book offers 67 activities that enhance the creative idea generation process using pre-meeting tools, icebreakers, creative and lateral thinking techniques, collaboration exercises, problem solving activities, as well as listening and feedback skill-building. In addition to describing Osborn's 4 principles of brainstorming that most teaming experts know, the SCAMPER (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Purpose, Eliminate, and Reverse) method developed by Eberle is explained along with sample activities to support both of these. Anyone who facilitates meetings that include brainstorming should get this book and review the 7 pages on "how to run your brainstorming session" before planning meetings. The book recommends impartial facilitators lead sessions instead of team members or supervisors. Whether the session is facilitated by a professional or someone else outside the group doing the brainstorming, checking this book for ideas to use before and during the meeting should improve outcomes of the sessions. Both trainers and facilitators will benefit from looking at the many activities to see what may fit into a discussion group during problem solving training or for enhancing team-building sessions.

Everyone can be creative [if we so]. We can do it in an entertaining, laterally, and following our own pace and speed [if the pace and speed are constant ... much better].This book is for us to think fast, but faster and creatively.

Il libro a una prima lettura appare caotico nonostante sia impostato per con l'intento di risultare chiaro. Alcune tecniche sono interessanti, nel complesso vale l'acquisto se siete interessati a queste modalità ma, a mio parere, questo libro si ferma un po' troppo superficialmente

The book delivers as promised!

Great simple activities
