In short I think you need to provide people with a short set of good criteria to help them whittle down the ideas into a shortlist. Then you can vote to select the best. The criteria depend on the objective. So if you were looking for ideas for a new product you might look for things where 1. There is a clear customer need 2. We can crack the technology 3. We can succeed and make money with this. Paul Art,

Could you also provide some tricks to go 1 step beyond once you've collected a lot of interesting ideas: how do you select the right ideas, how do you put the right priorities, ...? I realize that it's business dependant, but there must be some general rules, right? Thanks in advance! Hi Paul, great post.
