Did you know … the term “brainstorming” was first used by advertising executive Alex Osborn in the 1930s?
He believed that group problem-solving sessions were more effective when participants were encouraged to share their wildest ideas, no matter how absurd they may seem.
The term “brainstorming” was born, and it has since become a widely-used technique for generating new and innovative ideas.
This highlights the power of unconventional thinking and encourages us to embrace new and creative approaches to problem-solving in the workplace.
It also serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most effective solutions come from the most unexpected places.
