Idea Generation Activities for Online Meetings

Our ideas are our competitive currency. They are what differentiate us, our team and our organisation from everyone else. They’re at the heart of innovation because, of course, everything starts with an idea. 

 But getting your team to have great ideas in your online meetings and remote workshops can be a challenge. Especially these days, when we are still spending so much time on Zoom, MS Teams, Google Hangouts and other platforms.  

 In this week’s show I’ll share some of my favourite, tried-and-tested idea generation activities that will add some creative sparks to your remote meetings and online events. They’ll infuse your virtual facilitation with dynamism, and your online workshops, innovation and design sprints with purposeful positivity and energy.
