Retooling yoU: Openers: How do you bring ideas into the room?

How do you bring ideas into the room? How do you make sure people are speaking their mind, and not just saying what they think the boss wants to hear? How do you overcome groupthink? How do you ensure you’re hearing the ideas from everyone in the room, regardless of rank? In this Retooling yoU, we’ll cover Openers: methods designed to bring as many ideas into the room as possible. We’ll cover the protocol and pitfalls of traditional brainstorming, and look at new online and in-person variations that make use of the participants’ diverse perspectives.
