Welcome to our podcast series on collaboration, where we explore different facets of working together effectively. This is the first of four short episodes, each no longer than 20 minutes, packed with insights and ideas to help you collaborate better, wherever you are.

In today’s episode, we dive into the heart of collaboration when the answer is unknown. How do you approach a problem when no one knows the solution yet? This is the perfect time for open brainstorming, where we define the problems, collect ideas, and focus on achieving results.

Steve and Anouck, our co-hosts, are big fans of using Post-it notes in brainstorming sessions. Today, they’ll guide you through how they use this simple tool to facilitate creative thinking and gather the best ideas. And of course, we’ll be using dots to highlight the top answers, just like we do in our own brainstorming sessions.

One of the key challenges we’ll discuss is how to effectively communicate project awareness within a company. When multiple teams are involved in a complex project, keeping everyone informed and aligned can be a challenge. How do you ensure that everyone knows what’s happening, even when the path forward isn’t clear yet?

So, grab a notebook, get ready for some insights, and let’s dive into collaboration without knowing all the answers. Whether you’re leading a project or part of a team, there’s something here for everyone.

Stay tuned for more in our series, where we’ll continue exploring collaboration from different angles. Let’s get started!
