Brainstorming - Affinity Process(slides K - 4, K
- 6 and K - 5)

• PurposeTo organize large sets of items (more
  than twenty items) into smaller sets of related
  items
• Steps
• The rules of brainstorming are followed but
  each idea is written on a self-adhesive Post-it
  note or card.
• After all the ideas have been generated and
  entered on the Post-its, post all the Post-its on
  a wall or floor or board or lay down flat on a
  table. Discuss the Post-its to check if there
  are any duplicates or questions about what any of
  the Post-its say or mean.

16
Brainstorming - Affinity Process

• Steps (continued)
• Team members now SILENTLY move the Post-it notes
  around, grouping notes that have an affinity,
  together.
• If disagreement exists when grouping, make copies
  of the contested note place it in more than one
  group.
• When the grouping has stopped, discuss each
  grouping to determine what it is that relates all
  the notes. Write a header card for each group
  that captures the theme and feeling of the notes.
• If there are single idea notes that do not fit
  well with the other ideas, have the team decide
  if they should be kept.

17
Brainstorming and Affinity Processes(see slide K
- 4 in the Orange Workbook)

• Purpose
• To organize a large set of items into a smaller
  set of related items.
• Guidelines
• The rules of brainstorming are followed but each
  idea is written (in 7 words or less, including a
  noun and a verb) on a self-adhesive Post-it note
  or card
• Team members silently move the Post-it cards
  around to form closely-related idea groups
• If disagreement exists when grouping, make copies
  of the contested card and place in more than one
  group
• Label each group with a header card which clearly
  identifies and reflects the theme of the cards
• If there are single idea cards that don't fit
  well with the other ideas, have the team decide
  if they should be kept (they may be excellent
  ideas thought of only by one person)

  of ¼-inch post-its, write down, one color per
  piece of paper, all the colors you can think of
  that start with the letter B, e.g., blue.
• Share your colors with your team ( 4 min )
  remove duplicates using the Boggle method
• one person reads all of their colors while others
  toss out duplicates
• the next person reads their list while others
  continueto cross out duplicates
• repeat until each team member has read his/her
  list
• count the number of team ideas and list the
  number.

19
Brainstorming - Some Practice (contd)

• Each team member use your list ( 4 min )
• and Osborns Check List to generate more
  ideas.
• When you have completed this task, count and
  list the number of ideas.
• Each team, move round robin ( 4 min )
• and use Random Stimulation to generate more
  ideas for one item.
• When you have completed this task, count and
  list the number of ideas.

Affinity Process On Colors

• Perform Affinity Process ( 5 min ) on your set
  of colors.
