Noticed that Wally was in Zen mode there, just drinking his coffee. Sometimes you have to do that so you can stay awake and not go to sleep from sheer boredom and have your head fall forward and bang on the table.....if the PSB noticed it, you could tell him it was an omen, and that you would explain it at a later date.....like never...

Brainstorming is what you get in an environment where managers think it is possible to do research without actually knowing anything.

Come to think of it, panel 4 is a good idea. IF you have the budget and time, just let everyone tackle the problem on its own and come out with a solution. It will bring better results, as at the end the ideas compared are the ones that worked. Not only that, but everyone understand the problem better so they are in a better position to offer solutions.

But brainstorming is cheaper (as you do not need to pay people to work on something that it will not be used). Thus is an alternative if your budget is low, or you do not have the time, or if you do not mind a less than optimum alternative.
