    How do we get the best contributions from people at the meeting?
    What are the factors we need to pay attention to?

    There will be some attendees who have genuinely more knowledge and opinions and some who have apparently less but a good chairperson will ensure all voices are heard not just the most obvious ones. Make sure you specifically ask each person at least once for a contribution even if it is only a “xx what do you think of that point” sort of drawing out.

    💡 When running a brainstorming, follow these rules: 1) Freewheel;  2) Suspend judgement;  3) The more ideas the better;  4) Capture every idea;  5) Build on ideas previously proposed

    Sometimes if stasis or stagnation of responses creps in to a meeting it can be revitalised by ‘seeding’ a more personal scenario. For instance , “how would it affect your areas if we xxxxxxx?” This focuses minds specifically on their own areas and can give the chairperson a more accurate tag to elicit a response from individuals.
