After ideas have stopped flowing from the participants the cards are<br />

clustered and evaluated for utility or feasibility. This can be done by<br />

giving the participants a certain number of dots to place on the most<br />

feasible or useful cards. Those cards which receive the most number of<br />

dots are then included in the next session of the workshop.<br />

If participants are not used to this kind of anarchic association, you<br />

may introduce this technique with a small exercise to make clear that<br />

you are foregoing logical or restrictive thought patterns. For example,<br />

you can show a paper clip and ask participants to enumerate its<br />

potential uses.<br />

Remarks: You must differentiate the wild and the rational phase of this<br />

exercise, otherwise the participants might not get down to talking about the<br />

useful ideas. The exercise should not last too long, as brainstorming is only<br />

a liberating moment in an important planning process. The main rule is:<br />

everything is allowed to be expressed and no critique or arguing over ideas.<br />

This has to be done later in the rational discussion phase.<br />
