LinkedIn has the article Please, no more brainstorm sessions. This is how innovation really works.

Imagination is not fragile. It feeds off flaws, difficulties, and problems. Insulating ourselves from failures is to rob one of our most valuable mental faculties of fuel.

I was intrigued by this article because I have participated and facilitated many brainstorming sessions throughout my career. Coincidentally, in a meeting last night, the idea of holding brainstorming sessions was suggested. I took note (literally) of that suggestion.

I am glad to see that this article does not dispose of the idea completely. It only suggests a procedural change in the way these meetings are conducted.
