Recommendation

Many companies use ineffective, silly techniques to innovate, including brainstorming sessions featuring NERF balls and fun foods to make the session enjoyable and productive. But brainstorming does not work, no matter how many balls you throw at it.

    Excellent summary - Very relevant in today's business environment -

    Key takeaway for me is that the best approach is to take a few aspects at a time and not try to execute all 10 at a time.
