009 Brainstorming

　　 Dialogue 1

　　 A: Have you thought up any good ideas for our business proposal?

　　 B: I havent come up with anything good yet. Somehow my brain isnt functioning today.

　　 A: Maybe you should take a break, youve been sitting at your computer for three hours trying to put something together. No wonder your mind isnt very sharp now.

　　 B: I came up with a few different thoughts on the proposal, but now Ive completely run out of ideas.

　　 A: Maybe we can shelve the proposal for a while while you brainstorm.

　　 B: We could do that, but I hate to put everything on hold.

　　 A: Youre right, its no good to have things up in the air for too long.

　　 Dialogue 2

　　 A: Weve got to come up with a way to solve this problem! No one is getting all their work done during the work day. We need to do some brainstorming to come up with a time-management solution for our office.

　　 B: Well, what do you suggest? Its not that we are all wasting a lot of time. Fact is, were understaffed. People just have too much to do.

　　 A: So you think we should hire some new people? That is one possible solution. What else could be the problem?

　　 B: Maybe we do have some problems with time-management. If people were always on time to work, they might get more done in the morning before lunch.

　　 A: Thats true. Also, maybe we could shorten the lunch break from one hour to forty five minutes. That would add a little time to everyones day.

　　 B: Fifteen minutes would be good, but I wonder if it would make a big impact on the employees output. I still think its a problem with too much workload.

　　 A: We ended up right where we started. Maybe it is time to look for some temp workers to help with a few projects. That would lighten everyones load.
