He defines brainstorming as a gold standard that corporations have adopted over the years as a means to improve processes and come up with new ideas. He describes brainstorming as a problem-solving technique that is based on getting multiple people in a group to work together and spontaneously arrive at new and ground breaking ideas.

This article will inform the use of brainstorming as a way to come up with new ideas to improve operations within Glasdon, Inc. Chan, F. T., Daultani, Y., Goswami, M., & Pratap, S. (2022).
