Alex Osborn - Your Creative Power (1948)
--Brainstorming is characterized by the absence of criticism and negative feedback
Decades of research has shown that brainstorming sessions produce fewer ideas than same number of people who work individually and then pull their ideas.
Charles Nemeth 2003 Berkely Professor
--Debate conditions - groups that debate and criticize each others ideas.
--Debate conditions do not inhibit ideas, but stimulate them relative to every other condition.
--Stimulates new ideas because it encourages us to engage more fully with others and to reassess our viewpoints
--Even when ideas may be wrong, it expands our creative potential
The most creative spaces are those which hurl us together--It is the human friction that makes the spark.
