Don’t brainstorm, since brainstormed ideas are what’s easily available, instead of innovative or actually relevant. Especially don’t group-brainstorm, which tend to become even less innovative due to groupthink effects (Mullen, Brian, Craig Johnson, and Eduardo Salas, 1991, Productivity Loss in Brainstorming Groups: A Meta-Analytic Integration).
