When participating in a brainstorming team, you are going to work through the brainstorming techniques until you get to the point to where your team have to come up with a corrective action. A corrective action is what the brainstorming team has come up with as a way to reverse the effects of the root problem. There are often times very serious side affects from the root problem and these side affects need to be addressed and corrected. The corrective action is not to be confused as a permanent solution, but in brainstorming, it moves you and your team one step closer.
