4.3.4. Pros and Cons of the method 635

Possible advantages:
 
Possible disadvantages:
 
  • The method is very easy to use.
  • The method doesn’t require a special qualification for moderation.
  • The innovative potentials of a group can be used (experts in different fields of knowledge).
  • All participants are active (not necessarily achieved by a brainstorming session).
  • It is useful if there are conflicts in the group (conflicts in a group could have a negative effect when using the oral method of brainstorming).
  • A useful idea is systematically developed further.
  • The "author" of a creative idea can be identified.
  • Some participants might have problems describing their ideas concisely so that the idea is not clear enough for the other participants (handwriting must also be clear!).
  • As there is a fixed time limit of five minutes, participants might feel pressured and restricted in their thinking.

As there are obviously more pros than cons, it’s worth a try!
