There is nothing more fun in a team than tossing ideas around and landing on the big idea. For teams that are in the same office, whiteboard sessions or ad-hoc “back of the napkin” conversations are the forum for creativity. Because of the informality, they provide a way to work on something together without the expectation of it looking nice during the process. The generative part of any work is meant to be messy, changeable and fun – that’s how the magic happens! Case in point: Pixar, the gold standard in creativity, famously came up with the concepts for four of their greatest movies via napkin sketches over lunch.
