What metrics can you use to measure the quality of outcomes of a brainstorm? - BrainReactions.net Online Brainstorming http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 BrainReactions.net Online Brainstorming Thu, 31 May 2007 10:45:55 BrainReactions.net Online Brainstorming webmaster@brainreactions.net 20 14. Do a SWAT analyzes on they ideas or general direction of ideas http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16378 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 03:12:40 13. experientially score Ideas that invert, 180 degree shits, perspective and paradigm shift, on the basis of novelty and discomfort http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16342 Thu, 07 Jun 2007 09:48:28 12. The number of ideas not necessarily required to be discarded. These are the ideas that are discarded based more on bureaucratic (did I get the spelling right ?) factors rather than the functionality point of view http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16284 Fri, 01 Jun 2007 16:08:41 11. creativity of the ideas, i.e., how crazy are they . This factor wil eventually add to the innovation quotient in the idea http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16283 Fri, 01 Jun 2007 16:06:55 10. "why didn't i think of it" factor? A-ha moments http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16253 Thu, 31 May 2007 17:34:22 9. number of ideas spun-off or built upon from the original idea http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16252 Thu, 31 May 2007 17:33:21 8. disruptiveness http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16251 Thu, 31 May 2007 17:32:58 7. technological readiness http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16250 Thu, 31 May 2007 17:32:07 6. feasibility and perhaps arguably IP generated would be reasonable parameters, as suggested by abandvc. i would have to disagree that number of people, diversity, and/or certainly speed are valuable measurement metrics. instead, i would add that the degree that a "brainstorm" can transform/resolve the objective set out in the first place -- e.g. "brainstorming" is often the result of searching for a solution to a problem or a set of problems -- would likely be the prime indicator of "quality" http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16246 Thu, 31 May 2007 17:17:49 5. Speed of idea generation (500 ideas/hr, etc.) http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16244 Thu, 31 May 2007 11:46:28 4. Patentability/Intellectual Property value generated http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16243 Thu, 31 May 2007 11:17:42 3. Novelty of the ideas http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16242 Thu, 31 May 2007 11:17:33 2. Number of people involved/ diversity of ideas http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16241 Thu, 31 May 2007 11:16:49 1. Feasibility level of the ideas http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1507 16240 Thu, 31 May 2007 11:16:13
