When to use it

• Use it when new ideas are required, to generate a large list of possibilities.
• Use it when a solution to a problem cannot be logically deduced.
• Use it when information about a problem is confused and spread across several people, to gather the information in one place.
• The creative synergy of a Brainstorming session is also useful in helping a team bind together.
