Course Overview
Data on effective team brainstorming is abundant; insight about it is not. A process for this area of people management and development that managers quietly work around has already failed. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the people management and development discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of effective team brainstorming to standardise and which to leave flexible. It concentrates on the parts of this aspect of people management and development that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Plans for the people management and development discipline often fail at the handover point between functions. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for effective team brainstorming as they go. Organisations that document this aspect of people management and development properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within people management and development sustainable.
