Mind Melding
Mind melding is just another way
to gather a large number of ideas by taking advantage of the creative minds
of many people. Here's the process:
- On a piece of scratch paper,
each person in the group writes what they consider a major problem.
- Once each person has completed
writing the problem statement, they pass it to the person on their right.
- Each person then reads the problem
statement they have received from the person to their left. As quickly as
they can, they write out what they think might be one solution to the problem,
and then pass the paper to the person on their right.
- Step three is repeated as many
times as necessary until each person has received their original problem
statement with possible solutions listed.
