Let’s face it, when do you do your most creative thinking? In a business suit whilst in a conference room, or in your pajamas, lounging in a comfortable chair with your feet up? Working from home allows time to think, or more importantly, to daydream.

This is such a shame, because now more than at any time I can remember, we have a perfect environment to be creative. The pandemic has created a situation where teams are now often over-collaborating and therefore not necessarily being more productive.Ĭreativity also relies on collaboration – but without adequate tools and processes teams can unknowingly be negatively impacting their ability to innovate. What I discovered is a development team that’s committed to helping individuals and teams brainstorm flexibly (using the whiteboard), distill their ideas into plans (using Ayoa’s mind mapping tool) and take action on them (using its task management tool set).Ĭhuck Frey: From your company’s perspective, how are business’ needs for collaboration changing and evolving?Ĭhris Griffiths: A key point here is the understanding that collaboration does not equal productivity. So I interviewed CEO Chris Griffiths to gain some insights into Ayoa’s current direction and to learn what’s next for it. I wasn’t quite clear how this new feature fit in with the rest, or how it reflects the changing needs of its customers. OpenGenius recently announced that it has added a whiteboard to its Ayoa mind mapping and task management tool.
