Large Company

Objective of approach: 
  • Use the creativity potential of virtual teams

As virtual teams meet very seldom at a common location, they do not often have the change to really work together, e.g. sitting together at one PC or conducting a workshop. Virtual creativity sessions provide a platform to not only discuss existing ideas (like in web conferences) but to really be creative together. Those sessions often use a common software platform and an adaption of well-known creativity methods.

USP: 

Using creativity potential also in virtual teams.
