Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of leading brainstorming sessions with some of the world’s most brilliant minds—from Nobel laureates and royal families to government think tanks and Fortune 500 executives. I’ve partnered with top creative agencies who came to me frustrated with the diminishing ROI of their own brainstorming efforts. All this has put me in a unique position to see both the potential and the pitfalls of traditional brainstorming up close.

By Chris Griffiths and Caragh Medlicott, below, authors of The Focus FixIf we asked you to name a creative person, chances are you’d pick someone well-known. An artist, perhaps – or an inventor. Because of the clear correlation between creativity and success, we tend to bestow a type of prestige on creative ability. This isn’t, in and of itself, a bad thing.

Estimates suggest that at least 30% of the population is neurodivergent, with these statistics being higher for our most creative innovators (around 40% of self-made millionaires are dyslexic).

Few things induce panic like the proverbial blank page. Even the most seasoned professional might look like a deer in the headlights when asked to come up with ideas – especially if they’re put on the spot.
