Overview: This paper presents six new principles emerging from four decades of academic and industry research on the generation of high-quality creative ideas by "Brainstorming". The principles are: brainstorming instructions are essential and should emphasize, paradoxically, number and not quality of ideas; a specific, difficult target should be set for the number of ideas; individuals, not groups, should generate the initial ideas; groups should then be used to amalgamate and refine the ideas; individuals should provide the final ratings to select the best ideas, which will increase commitment to the ideas selected; and the time required for successful brainstorming should be kept remarkably short. By following these principles, brainstorming will more dependably produce high-quality creative results.
