Stragility

We found this article on Forbes and wanted to share! Here are 4 tips to successful brainstorming:

• Lay out the problem you want to solve
• Identify the objectives of a possible solution
• Try to generate solutions individually
• Once you have gotten clear on your problems, your objectives and your personal solutions to the problems, work as a group

Finish the week off strong and achieve not only personal goals, but team aspirations!
