Round-robin brainstorming ensures everyone is involved; all ideas are shared, fostering greater creativity, innovation, and inclusion.
Guidelines
- Allow everyone time to reflect and list their ideas before you start the round-robin.
- Determine your sharing order, and stick to it.
- There should be no negative commentary on people’s ideas.
- You can build on other ideas shared.
- Ideas should be captured by everyone on a collective document. The note taking responsibility should not fall to one person.
- In the beginning, no one should pass because their idea has already been shared. This is brainstorming! Come up with something else. At some points ideas may become exhausted, and you can shift into discussion on ideas shared.
