009 Brainstorming

Dialogue 1

A: Have you thought up any good ideas for our business proposal?

B: I haven't come up with anything good yet. Somehow my brain isn't functioning today.

A: Maybe you should take a break, you've been sitting at your computer for three hours trying to put something together. No wonder your mind isn't very sharp now.

B: I came up with a few different thoughts on the proposal, but now I've completely run out of ideas.

A: Maybe we can shelve the proposal for a while while you brainstorm.

B: We could do that, but I hate to put everything on hold.

A: You're right, it's no good to have things up in the air for too long.

Dialogue 2

A: We've got to come up with a way to solve this problem! No one is getting all their work done during the work day. We need to do some brainstorming to come up with a time-management solution for our office.

B: Well, what do you suggest? It's not that we are all wasting a lot of time. Fact is, we're understaffed. People just have too much to do.

A: So you think we should hire some new people? That is one possible solution. What else could be the problem?

B: Maybe we do have some problems with time-management. If people were always on time to work, they might get more done in the morning before lunch.

A: That's true. Also, maybe we could shorten the lunch break from one hour to forty five minutes. That would add a little time to everyone's day.

B: Fifteen minutes would be good, but I wonder if it would make a big impact on the employees' output. I still think it's a problem with too much workload.

A: We ended up right where we started. Maybe it is time to look for some temp workers to help with a few projects. That would lighten everyone's load.
