It was a seemingly unstoppable merger. Two of American’s most trusted, most well-known, and most well-liked brands were merging together – Kraft and Heinz. Add to that the fact that Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, was the one brokering the deal, and it seemed to be a match made in heaven. Like all of Berkshire Hathaway’s companies, the goal for Kraft Heinz was not to disrupt the market or to be big and bold; the goal was simply “don’t lose the investors money.”.

Brainstorming sessions sound like a great idea, especially for breaking out of creative ruts, but too often brainstorming fizzles out. The main reason for this is that organizations don’t actually use any of the ideas that come out of brainstorming sessions. When that happens, people go into brainstorming sessions feeling they’re about to engage in a time-wasting exercise.
