Brainstorming techniques fall into four broad categories: visioning, exploring, modifying, and experimenting.

Creative ideas do not come just like that. There is a process to it.

Most innovations are not so much the product of sudden insights as they are the result of a conscious process that often goes through multiple stages. The creative process can be divided into four stages of preparation, incubation, evaluation, and implementation.
