Here's how you can enhance collaboration and teamwork in creative problem solving using technology.

So many digital workspaces are available like STORMZ, MIRO etc. Use them in the current hybrid work context as value of the ideas will be preserved and you can do idea mining from the earlier lists rather than do a meaningless repetition of earlier rounds Digital helps

One client uses YAMMER effectively. Another uses WHATSAPP whatever helps in quick communication and is supported by the team is great. But do communicate and keep team members fully engaged

In my experience, collaboration failures occur when planners and facilitators simply assume other team members will be engaged. To effectively handle a diversity of personality types and comfort levels, multiple modes of communication should be offered. Some team members like live discussions, while others prefer to respond privately. Some are open to embracing topics on the spot, while others need time to think and formulate a response. Some need no encouragement to join in, while others prefer to be prompted and invited in slowly. And, of course, there is plenty of gray area between these opposites.

In my experience, most project management software packages are on the right track, though still lacking in some respects. To keep teams focused, there needs to be less peripheral activity. Aside from note tossing or idea gathering exercises, visualizations should be limited in scope for most participants. Also, there should be simple cues placed in strategic locations to help newcomers navigate the planning process while not cluttering the board for those who already understand it all.

so many platforms are available like STORMZ, MIRO, Mind manager etc. all are good and give you a free trial version for 14 days so you can experiment and test before investing in a good Idea sharing and management systems

Feedback, whether delivered in person or via some technology platform, is critical to any development process. I find that the major roadblock in soliciting feedback comes from a failure to engage potential reviewers in an effective and efficient manner. Emails and messaging often get ignored or put aside with the intention of responding later, when time permits. Quick response options ("Thanks", "Got it", "Sounds interesting", "Let me think about it") are helpful, though follow-up mechanisms or reminders may be necessary to keep productivity channels from shutting down prematurely.
