problem characteristics, also referred to as parameters. 2. Make all the suggestions visible to everyone and group them in various ways until consensus is reached regarding the groupings. 3. Label the groups to reduce them to a manageable number. Rather than reaching for a recommended number, consider the capabilities of the group and the time available. Consider also that there are computer applications and other tools that can assist the process. 4. The next step is to ďŹ ll a grid or grids with lists of parameters arranged along the axes. Now combinations can be identiďŹ ed within the grid. Depending on the number of items in play, great numbers of combinations may be available. 5. Eliminate those combinations that are impossible or undesirable to execute; put aside those that you do not want to eliminate but do not want to execute, and develop as many of the rest as possible.
