You’re trading variety and mental capacity for direction and group cohesion right? If you have a good leader who can set good themes, or a group that gets into disagreements, then a group discussion setting might turn 20, potentially off-topic or divisive ideas into 5 on-topic, agreeable ideas. But yeah, if you have the time for individual research, then that can be valuable as well.
Well, that same concept but I demand that ppl get prepared beforehand (‘send me an email with 5 actually viable suggestions & prepare data if necessary/applicable/reasonably feasible’).
That way ppl don’t wander off, don’t suggest (as) stupid shit (as they otherwise would) that wound obviously lead nowhere + they get group feedback to workshop (or not) the idea further.

Eh, agreeable ideas are boring ideas. On anything creative, I’d rather have something divisive with character than something corporate and filed-down.
