Have you ever been in one of those meeting where stupid idea after stupid idea flow?  Okay, dumb question.  Have you been in one of those meetings…this week?

I see a couple of reasons why this happen.

1.  We don’t frame the issue well.  We are not specific enough about the issue we are trying to solve or address.

2.  We don’t have the right people. 

or,

3.  We just don’t have good brainstorming sessions. 

If the problem is the brainstorming session, Businessweek has some great tips to use in order to make brainstorming more effective.
