PROCESS OF BRAINSTORMING SESSION
                 The following steps are involved in the process of the brainstorming session:


                 Step  1   Defining the Problem

                 Step  2    Selecting the Time, Place and Process
                 Step  3   Introducing the Facilitator

                 Step  4   Assessing Ideas

                 Step  5   Presenting Results

                 The conclusion can be derived in the form of a write-up or a mind-map and then presented to the
                 supervisor who needs to make a decision.




                           MIND MAPS

                 A Mind Map is a tool that allows us to organise ideas, thoughts or concepts and their relationship
                 in a graphical manner.

                 After the brainstorming  session  is over,  we structure  the ideas  and information,  and their
                 relationship using Mind Maps. In this technique, we pick up the ideas that have common features.

                 These ideas are then grouped under one category, and the different categories are linked to the
                 main topic using lines or arrows. Let us draw a Mind Map for the computer:
