With the emergence of the hybrid world, where people tend to work remotely and depend on telecommunication tools now more than ever, fostering trust, creativity, intimacy, and a thriving team dynamic presents a challenge. Microsoft Whiteboard delves specifically into the brainstorming and ideation space that heavily benefits from organic conversation and the natural flow of ideas which largely comes from human connection that was promoted by in-person interaction, discovering new opportunities that an improved ideation platform could bring to strengthen human connection and the flow of ideas in a digital space.
