Brainstorming has become the traditional benchmark for the early stages of any project development. WHAT, HOW and WHY are the common driving factors in evaluating whether we're going to a pursue the idea and reach the implementation stage.

Dreamers can often ignore that much like any successful story, structure and planning are necessary to turn the soft focus of an idea into a picture drawn out in ink.  The 99 Percent highlighted Disney as an example (one of the most highly respected creative machines of our time), revealing how their brainstorming process encouraged their teams to explore each of the three steps in three physical rooms.
