At your next creative brainstorming meeting, try a frenetic and fun round of "extreme-storming." Extreme-storming is when you take ideas to their maximum extreme in an attempt to push the boundaries in outrageous ways to bust you out of your mental cage and challenge assumptions.
Although seeking a consensus when creating ideas is often an admirable goal, it can also result in a race to the safest idea that doesn't ruffle any feathers. Extreme-storming can counter that tendency by unleashing the most innovative ideas that are often found living life on the edge.
Not
only does extreme-storming add some fun energy into your meetings, it forces a change in perspective that hopefully leads to innovative ideas when you put on your "what-could-we-do-if-there-were-no-limits glasses."
