What is this technique about

This is a group technique aimed to generate ideas, just as it happens with brainstorming. However, the purpose of this tool is to generate as many ideas as possible in a short period of time and in a collaborative manner, so the quantity of new ideas is preferred over their quality.

Brainwriting involves each participant within a group writing down some ideas on a piece of paper about a specific topic/problem over a given period of time (normally it takes just a few minutes). Once the time for reflection and writing is over, it is possible to start as many rounds of idea generation as desired. Finally, with the help of a moderator, the proposed ideas are discussed, without criticizing their validity, and their appropriateness is considered.
