The program shall cover Brain Storming Design exercises with respect to Cross Stimulation (Fractionation technique for getting ideas moving), Suspended Judgment (Suggestions by participants with no attempt at evaluation of ideas) and The formality of the Setting (Dividing things into sub-categories and put ting them together in new ways)
