Everyone has their own tried-and-true methods to jumpstart creativity. For many, the process involves physically writing down ideas on Post-it® Notes and then huddling around the whiteboard to flesh them out with colleagues. But as remote and distributed work environments become the norm, teams need a new way to ideate and collaborate online while still allowing for independent exploration with pen and paper.

Oh, the blank canvas. While the freedom of a blank slate may be a breath of fresh air for the new year, when you’re in a bit of a bind it can be overwhelming. You can end up spending hours searching for that creative spark and setting everything up just the way you like it from scratch—or you can tap into one of our templates to get the ideas flowing. When we started building templates for the first time, we wanted to give users the quickest of starts.

You know that engagement is the secret sauce for any virtual meeting or workshop. But, it’s tough to get people to stay focused—let alone actively participate. A recent survey found that more than half of workers admit they do other things (like check email or peruse social media) during online meetings. This is where workshop activities come in handy.
