Creating a “new normal” while working from home is essential for keeping up with an increasingly digital world.
Some of the most tried and true techniques for brainstorming in the office are no longer available, so we need to consider new strategies for effective brainstorming at home.
Here are just two of the suggestions for remote brainstorming:
- Use An Online Whiteboard
There are many tools that allow whiteboard loving brainstormers to continue jotting down ideas. This article shares some of the best ones. - Brainstorm Alone
There is ample evidence to suggest that brainstorming alone can be better for productivity. While editing is useful in a group setting, there are lots of great ways to brainstorm solo above just staring at a blank word document. - Video Calls
This is a great way to bridge the gap between team members who are working remotely and want to bounce ideas off of each other. - Use Slack
This is a great place for team members to come together and share ideas.
“When you work remotely, you can’t sit in front of a physical whiteboard with all your teammates. But it forces you to think outside the Expo marker and come up with new, and maybe more productive, ways to brainstorm.”
