Interactive Brainstorming Technology for Teams

Most meetings are a waste of time and talent. But you can make the most of them, make your people happy, and make more money, by changing your approach.<br /><br />Given that we all have zoom fatigue, and the disconnect among people working from so many far-flung locations, it's never been more important to make meetings enjoyable, meaningful and worthwhile. One way is to ditch traditional meetings and use a workshop model instead where everyone contributes and generates a real result<br /><br />Making meetings more visual and collaborative allows everyone to be seen, heard and valued. New techniques borrowed from Design Thinking can help any team get more creative and tangible results "working alone together".<br /><br />Brainstorming meetings have traditionally been pretty useless in that a lot of great ideas may get generated, but are forgotten once the meeting is over. Also, only the loudest voices dominate and introverts' thoughts don't get heard. The collaborative workshop model fixes both of these problems.<br /><br />A good brainstorming or problem-solving session -- like all creative endeavors -- needs a combination of divergent (creative) and convergent (selective) thinking<br /><br />Tools like Mural, Miro, Google Jamboard and others make it easy to run fun and productive workshops like this completely online, or in a hybrid environment. They simulate an in-person whiteboarding session, incorporating frameworks, sticky notes, drawing tools and more, and are in some ways superior to "in real life."<br /><br />drawingoutyourgenius.com<br />facebook.com/thelisarothstein<br />linkedin.com/in/hirelisarothstein<br />instagram.com/lisarothstein<br /><br /><a href="http://www.revealio.com" rel="noopener">www.revealio.com</a>
