Workshop overview

Everyone wants a team that works collaboratively to build ideas. We meet. We chat. We use digital whiteboards. But how effective are collaborative tools without a collaborative culture?

In this workshop, learners explore the benefits of collaborating early and often - and then have an opportunity to practice! Using our tool Share an Idea, learners work in teams to generate their most innovative ideas for unconventional partnerships, and then - before they can perfect it - they switch with another group. Working collaboratively, each team picks up where the first left off and builds on their idea to make it even better! After a series of rotations, the room is full of wildly inspiring ideas - all of which were created with diverse input from a trusting and collaborative environment.
