Sometimes at the end of a Brainzooming strategic thinking exercise someone will say the ideas they generated were all old ideas already bouncing around the organization.
If old ideas keep surfacing with no specific resolution, there's a problem standing in the way of the organization creating strategic impact.
The problem isn't with a brainstorming technique, however.
The problem revolves around what does or doesn't happen after an organization generates an idea.
