In identifying possible solutions to problems, you should do all of the following except:

  1. Involve only those team members with relevant expertise

  2. Stimulate as many ideas as possible

  3. Define metrics to evaluate the merits of ideas

  4. Rely as much on intuition as on logic

The correct answer is: Involve only those team members with relevant expertise

Identifying possible solutions to problems requires a collaborative approach to ensure a diverse range of ideas and perspectives. Limiting the involvement to only those team members with relevant expertise can narrow the pool of ideas and potentially overlook creative solutions that might arise from individuals with different experiences or viewpoints. Encouraging participation from a broader team fosters an environment where stimulation of ideas is more robust, leading to innovative solutions. Furthermore, defining metrics to evaluate the merits of ideas is crucial in assessing their feasibility and potential impact, ensuring decision-making is grounded in data rather than solely intuition. While intuition can play a role in decision-making, relying too heavily on it, rather than employing logical analysis, may lead to less informed choices. Thus, ensuring inclusivity in the brainstorming process is essential for effective problem-solving.
