At the beginning of a brainstorming session, the manager lists the rules to be followed. Which rule should be included and enforced?

1. Do not suggest any solution that is prohibitively expensive.
2. Suggest only ideas that the group has not already tried.
3. Do not critique any ideas presented.
4. Limit the session to the first 15 ideas.


3
Rationale 1: While all organizations are governed by a budget, what is "prohibitive" to one committee member may not be so to another. All solutions should be expressed.
Rationale 2: Sometimes an "old" solution is workable.
Rationale 3: Brainstorming is for idea generation only. Idea critique will follow in another session.
Rationale 4: The idea of brainstorming is to generate lots of ideas quickly. It would be better to limit the time than to limit the number of ideas.
