How to conduct workshops and Brainstorming sessions
when meetings cannot take place?
▧ Meetings cannot be scheduled at short notice
▧ High costs for travel and personnel
▧ Time-consuming organization and preparation
▧ Travel stops, home office, cross-site collaboration…

4. © perceptos
▧ Communication with many participants is challenging
▧ Low participation (just listening most of the time)
▧ No visualization of contributions, ratings and results
▧ Unsatisfactory documentation of results talk talk
Phone and web conferences (Skype, MS Teams, Webex…)
are not sufficient to achieve satisfactory team results.

5. © perceptos
▧ No workshop process, whiteboard only, focus on visualization and design
▧ High usage barrier, recommended for methodology experts only
▧ Unstructured, high facilitation effort, no guidance, need for explanation
▧ Only voting influenced by visible votes of others, no scales for voting
▧ Results need to be manually post-processed,
“Screenshot” documentation only
Whiteboard tools are not sufficient for result-oriented
teamwork and decision-making.

“„Benchtop Days bring together more than 40 people from 3 PT Business Units and central
purchasing once a year to discuss strategies, work on value streams and agree on team
targets. In spite of Covid 19, IdeaClouds besides Skype enabled us to conduct our meeting
completely virtual with attendees from 8 countries in 5 time zones (US, EU, AP), and to
achieve excellent workshop results. Plus we saved about €40,000 in travel cost.”
