Hitchhiking :
- A person who would like to develop or add to someone's idea should hold up his or he hand and snap his / her fingers for priority recognition by the leader. A series of hitchhiking ideas will permit a rapid evolution of ideas that could improve the basic concept.
Stimulation :
- The team leader should stimulate the session when ideas lag by introducing related areas for discussion. A short five minute recess may prove helpful. The ideation process must be rapid and spontaneous.
Close :
- The leader will adjourn the session when the available ideas have been reasonably exploited.
Review And Evaluation :
- The recorder should provide a list of ideas to the panel members for further study and analysis. Approximately 100 ideas should come from an average class of 30 students in a 30 minute period. Only at this point should the ideas be analyzed for their merits. Care should be exercised in studying these ideas lest a possibility be overlooked. A further session could be held to develop specific ideas after detailed study.
