There has been an interesting finding on the effect of group brainstorming. Research by Yale has found that compared to group storming when solving a problem, individuals working alone are more likely to come up with more and better solutions.
That is why we need to ensure we have enough autonomy in project management. When brainstorming for new ideas, it is important to allow enough time and space for individuals to think independently before conducting any group discussion sessions.
We have used this tip within our team and have found it to be very effective. This is a simple but powerful practice that you could also use for your brainstorming sessions with your team.
I hope this was helpful.
