Situation: Michelle M., your supervisor at the Gap, has been asked to lead a brainstorming group in an effort to generate new ideas for the company's product line. Although Michelle knows a great deal about the company and its products, she doesn't know much about brainstorming. She asks you to research the topic and to give her a concise guide on how to brainstorm. One other thing -- Michelle doesn't want to read a lot of articles. She wants you to outline tips for productive brainstorming.
Your task:
1. Conduct an Internet or database keyword search for brainstorming tips.
2. Locate at least three articles with helpful tips.
3. Prepare an outline that tells how to do the following:
prepare for a brainstorming session
conduct the brainstorming session
follow up after the brainstorming session
4. Submit the outline in a memo or an email format addressed to the supervisor.
5. Include the three sources properly formatted.
