I'll try to answer your question on convergent and divergent thinking in an upcoming blogpost. As for the questions and exercises, I've posted 12 of them here: http://www.crinid.com/ideation/12-icebreakers-to-kick-start-your-brainstorm These are 'tricks' to get the creativity flowing, and to encourage people in bringing forth unconventional ideas, and skip the process of convergance and our self-censorship within the brainstorm itself.
