Brainstorming techniques and tools: Thinkpak and Thinkertoys by Michael Michalko

Michael Michalko has put together an excellent introduction to different creativity techniques and brainstorming methods. As a companion for the book, a card deck of questions based on SCAMPER method is also sold on Amazon.com. The deck can be used as a tool for structurizing the brainstorming session. Both are good additions to your brainstorming room library.

Brainstorm Table brings paper back to meeting room

This retroish-product prototype wipes your problems of documentation. Each brainstorming session is captured to one sheet of paper (or should we say on couple of sheets).

Magnetic whiteboard wall

Interesting idea for any cool-loving brainstorming room. I am not sure how this was done, but probably by painting the wall first with some kind of magnetic paint and then with a product like Idea paint.
