What is BVD?
BVD stands for Brainstorm, Vote, and Discuss. This is a process to narrow and focus on a specific solution. The idea being that there are likely to be several solutions, and trying to adequately discuss all of them is very difficult and unproductive, especially when there are time constraints.
First, the teams brainstorms on an open question, but one that hopefully can lead to direct action. Then, all the ideas are collected on a whiteboard or some central location and each team member votes for his or her top two choices. Finally, the direction for the rest of the meeting is dictated by the popular choices.
