We all know that team work and collaboration is vital for a productive and successful office, but how many of you know how to brainstorm in the most effective way possible?
If you simply sit at your collaborative office desks with a pen and paper an expect ideas to flow, you might be sat there for a long time! Similarly, forcing ideas when you’re not in the right frame of mind isn’t going to be a successful tactic either.
First things first, you need to get yourself comfortable. Perhaps mesh chairs are a good idea here, because they keep you cool, allowing air to circulate, and they’re a cosy option. You should also have a large table with plenty of space for ideas to be scribbled down. Next up, you need to assemble your collaboration team and ensure that you all know what the main aim is, i.e. what you’re trying to come up with, be it an answer or a new idea completely.
