    BRAINSTORMING

                      The strategy to generate ideas is called brainstorming. It involves a group of people who
                      sit together to discuss a topic and come up with ideas. Let us understand with an example
                      ‘Computer’. Every student in the group comes up with their ideas which are written down

                      in one place as shown:

                                                                    Hospitals
                                               Hardware

                      During this discussion, we experience a storm of ideas originating from various brains.

                      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.
