What is the optimum group size for brainstorming?
The optimum group size for brainstorming is generally considered to be six to eight individuals who represent a range of backgrounds. This size allows for diverse perspectives and manageable communication dynamics. Larger groups can become unwieldy and more difficult to manage, while smaller groups might lack sufficient diversity of thought.
