Osborn's Rules

Osborn's Rules are guidelines for brainstorming effectively to generate creative ideas. Developed by Alex Osborn, they emphasize the importance of deferring judgment, encouraging wild ideas, and building on others' contributions. The main rules are: 1. **Focus on Quantity**: Generate as many ideas as possible without criticism. 2. **Withhold Judgment**: Avoid evaluating ideas during brainstorming; critique can stifle creativity. 3. **Encourage Wild Ideas**: Unconventional ideas may lead to innovative solutions. 4. **Combine and Improve Ideas**: Collaborate by merging suggestions to enhance creativity. These principles foster an open environment for creative thinking.
