Participants can contribute their ideas in advance, and during the meeting, you can discuss and group them together. To increase efficiency, conduct a voting session on the platform to prioritize the ideas, allowing for streamlined decision-making and maximizing the impact of the selected concepts. This approach promotes active engagement, effective collaboration, and the generation of innovative ideas within your meetings.

You also have a template for problem-solving, called the “Six Thinking Hats” model, available in both table and canvas formats. Each of your participants will generate ideas around the problem by adopting a different “hat” (mode of thinking) each time.

Another definite advantage of this activity is that if you want to reuse certain ideas to focus on and develop them further, you can easily duplicate them to work in a new canvas activity, saving time.

For evaluating a past period and engaging in a continuous improvement process, the speedboat template is an excellent choice. This model encourages meaningful exchanges and provides an overview of a project’s progress.
