How to Facilitate Brainstorm Sessions

Mitch Ditkoff

Everyday, in corporate America, there are thousands of brainstorming sessions. Most of them severely disappoint. Participants are unprepared, facilitators are unskilled, and the results underwhelm. Simply getting people into a room and asking for their ideas is NOT brainstorming. Real brainstorming is something else — the place where insight, brilliance, and collaboration meet opportunity. In order for that to happen, facilitators of the process need to have their act together. That’s what Mitch Ditkoff’s CONDUCTING GENIUS training is all about — a simple way for aspiring brainstorm facilitators to learn what it takes to lead truly effective ideation sessions. Mitch has lead hundreds of brainstorm sessions. And he’s trained many of his clients — from MTV to GE — to so the same.
