BrainWriting 6-3-5 is a simple, yet very effective and versatile technique for any kind of idea generation that maximizes the collective brainpower of any team. It uses a non-verbal process that enhances participation from all team members while building on others ideas. It eliminates all the inherent disadvantages and shortcomings of classic brainstorming and is a very efficient process when implemented properly. It is most commonly used in Step 4 (Concept Generation) of our Systematic Innovation Process but can be used in any step where information or ideas are needed. It uses a simple worksheet (or virtual software – contact us for details) to systematically generate a large number of ideas in a very short time period.
