Brainwriting is when participants write 3-4 solution ideas on paper and then put their ideas in the middle of the table.  When everyone is finished participants then grab a paper other than their own and read through the ideas.  Participants are then able to work off the new ideas, and maybe create new solutions.

This technique works best with large groups where brainstorming may be overwhelming. It also works better for problem that may be sensitive or emotionally charged.

Brainstorming is when participants call out ideas taking, making sure to take note of everyone's ideas while doing so.  There are a few guidelines while Brainstorming.

1.  Accept all ideas without judging them.
2.  Give ideas freely, even if they seem unrealistic.
3.  Someone should be writing down ideas as they are given.
4.  Work with the ideas to see if it creates more ideas.

Brainstorming works best when participants are familiar with one another, and usually isn't as successful in large groups.  It also doesn't work well when a problem is complex or sensitive.

Also known as NGT , nominal group technique is when participants are seperated into groups of 3-4, and then they begin to share their ideas.  They go around each taking turns giving ideas, writing down as many solutions as they can.  A participant is allowed to "pass" if they do not have an idea to share.

When the list is considered complete the participants then discuss and rate each solution on a seperate piece of paper, and then hand their solutions in.  When all groups are done the solutions are read off to the group while making a new list.  If their is a consistent solution created by the groups then the decision is made.  However, if there isn't a consistent solution, then further discussion takes place.

This technique is best used in large groups where people may not feel heard. It is created to ensure everyone has an equal voice, and able to share their thoughts.

PMI is plus/ minus/ implications.
PMI can be used when evaluating a solution.  The solution is given a plus for every positive result is may have, minus sign for any negative effect it could have, and then implications are results that could go both ways.  Once the positive and negatives are weighed and looked at the group then decides if they still want to keep it as a candidate solution.
