Here's a simple yet effective method of brainstorming new ideas for business projects, personal development, organising great parties - whatever you want to achieve in fact!
Think of as many ways to make the business fail and write them down. Encourage your group to keep firing ideas, no matter how silly they may sound.
E.g.
"Don't make calls to our customers so they have no idea about the sale this weekend"
"Make sure the posters are wrinkled and faded, or missing!"
"Sound bored or dismissive about the party night to discourage as many people from coming as possible"
"Do nothing"
"Make change for the sake of it"
When you have exhausted your team with a long list, have a break so they can have their giggles and when they return, go through each item and think of the opposite! Work out what's possible/practical and then shortlisted your ideas for success.
You'll be surprised at how many great ideas are spawned, and best of all, from your own team members. This way, there will be a much higher buy-in rate and more success to follow.
Have fun, enjoy trying it out!
