I have the idea that brainstorming on a meeting is a waste of time. It is better to do it async. On a shared doc where people can comment and improve over a short period of time (like a week or so). Then, and only then, you can have a round of presentations or debates.

I hugely prefer this for a lot of stuff and wish it could happen more often, sadly when tried usually people just don't end up contributing unless you trap then in a room (real or virtual).
There is some support for the idea that brainstorming as a group is less effective than individually: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1EYyS4AtRhNa6i299R_RB...
