Storm in a Tea Cup Over Brainstorming?

The term 'brainstorming' is politically correct and is not insensitive to those with mental health problems, according to a new survey among leading mental health charities and campaign bodies.

The survey revealed none of these organisations considered brainstorming as politically incorrect or had any formal policies relating to this question.

Conducted by creativity consultancy creativity@work the study followed concerns raised by training and HR specialists that the term is likely to cause offence, particularly to schizophrenics and epileptics.
