It captures the meeting title and date, defines objective and success measures, and clarifies the opportunity or challenge with supporting background. It specifies who should be included by role (champions, affected audience, tasked builders, consulted specialists, responsible owner, informed stakeholders, and approval approvers), plus required pre-work, knowledge, materials, preparation, and in-meeting activities. It also records target audience impacts and concrete measures, considerations, and constraints, ensuring efficient, aligned sessions and actionable outputs.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/","Presentations",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/brainstorm-brief-how-to/173630/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/brainstorm-brief-how-to/173630.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Olivia Brown","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/octet-stream","2026-10-21","2026-09-01",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What should be filled in the Brainstorm Brief’s Objective / Desired Outcome section?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Define specific deliverables and how success will be measured and understood for the meeting.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How should you decide who to include in the brainstorming session?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Include champions, people affected by the ideas, tasked builders, consulted specialists for input, one responsible owner for delivery, informed stakeholders, and those who must provide approval.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What pre-work and preparation expectations are included for participants?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Outline required pre-work, knowledge to read or do ahead of time, what participants should bring, and recommended attitude or approach.

How will success be measured for this meeting? How will success be understood? Keep this short and to the point.\nExample: “To think-up five, big, actionable ideas to explore further to build awareness of our key holiday products during the 2011 Holiday promotion.”\nOpportunity / Challenge:\nIn one or two sentences, what needs to be addressed? What is so important that it has prompted a meeting? What is broken? What is the problem? What needs to be solved? Keep this short too, you can elaborate in the Background section.\u000bExample:“2011 is going to be a challenging sales year. We typically make our sales numbers in the last quarter. We need bigger ideas than ever if we are to stay ahead of the competition.”\nBackground:\nUse this space to provide additional background about the opportunity or challenge.\nWho Should Be Included:\nC - Champions\nThese people will create excitement for this project. They will serve as ambassadors and spread the word for you. You don’t *have* to invite them... but be sure to keep them in the loop.\nA - Audience Affected\nWho will be affected when the ideas thought up in this meeting are implemented? These could be external such as: customers, vendors, suppliers, etc.  Or, they may be internal such as: operations team, front-line employees, leadership, etc. If possible, try to include someone – or a few – from this group. Why make assumptions on behalf of this group when they can be represented.\nT - Tasked\nWho will have activities or tasks to make this idea a reality (builders)? Who will have tasks because of this project (implementers)? Whose roll will be affected?\nB = Built-In\nWho will be consulted? What specialists should you include who have input and value? Whose buy-in essential?\nR = Responsible\nWho is ultimately responsible for delivering this project? Only one name should be in this spot.\nI = Informed*\nWhich people need to know about your ideas and decisions? They don’t need to be involved in the process, but want to know the outcomes.\nO = Okay*\nWho needs to provide approval?\n*With both the Informed and those who provide the Okay – keep them in the loop. Give them relevant updates that allow them to be ambassadors of your project.\nWhat is the Climate / Politics?\nWhat is the current attitude and behavior of potential participants toward the topic? Are people excited, worried, fearful, energetic, supportive, combative? Does this meeting excite them? Threaten them?\nWith what do participants need to be prepared?\nHere, clearly outline the pre-work needed to for the meeting. Then, communicate these expectations to your participants (ahead of time). This will make your time in-meeting more productive and relevant.\nKnowledge Ahead of Time\nWhat should participants do or read before the brainstorm? Industry background, product information, articles, research? Is there something they should experience? Visit the competition?\nBring With\nAre there things you want participants to bring? Updates from their departments? A list of their own suggested solutions?\nAttitude / Approach\nAny additional instructions? Proper sleep the night before?
