• Each individual writes down as many ideas as possible working individually.
• Each person presents one of his/her ideas, which the group leader records on a flipchart or whiteboard.
• The process continues until all ideas have been recorded. No ideas are repeated.
• Group discussion of each idea starts after all the ideas are presented.
• Each individual ranks what they think are the top five ideas, by giving a score of 5 to the one they think is best and 1 to the one they think would be least successful.
• Combine everyone's ratings for each idea.
• The idea with the highest score is the one you choose. If there is a tie, use Paired Comparison to make a decision.
