CONT

(...) lorsque les participants produisent des idées «folles», ils risquent après un certain temps de se décourager car ils ne voient pas «à quoi cela pourra servir». L'animateur doit donc, en partant de quelques idées particulièrement farfelues, leur montrer comment il est possible d'en extraire une idée applicable et originale (il sera bon qu'il ait à sa disposition quelques exemples significatifs d'idées particulièrement «loufoques» qui ont donné naissance à des produits ou à des réalisations incontestables).
