Creativity within finance teams can help companies gain a competitive edge in today’s ever-changing market. There are several ways to encourage brainstorming among teams, according to Loren Margolis, CEO and founder of Training & Leadership Success LLC, who encourages teams to think differently.
Developing new ideas, processes and systems can be accomplished while thinking outside the box. Giving team members time to think about ideas before the group meets will help the discussion. Setting a tone at the discussion’s outset can help everyone feel comfortable sharing their thoughts. After the session, summarizing all of the ideas that were shared can keep them top of mind.
There are various ways to have successful brainstorming sessions, and ideas can continue to develop with brainstorming boards or digital tools long after the sessions are over.
