After our latest update of the file attachments, the time has come to improve our comments feature! This (most crucial) part of the Stormz card has been redesigned to offer a lighter and more modern look fitting the new design of the workshop.

As Stormz co-founder and session designer/facilitator for the iLow agency, I have facilitated hundreds of remote collaborative workshops using a combination of Stormz (of course) and a video-conferencing software. And surely, using the very best tools at our disposal is essential to the success of such sessions. In this article, I will share the result of ten years of experience: the ultimate list of the video conferencing tools I like (or would like) to use to facilitate important strategic collaborative workshops for my clients (ie. meetings where participants co-design solutions to important business challenges).

After our latest revamp of the card editor, the time had come to improve our file and image attachment feature. In two words: Files now appear in a sleek image gallery and our file attachment picker leads you directly to Unsplash to find the best pictures!

As part of our ongoing series of upgrades, we’ve managed to make Stormz cards even easier to use. With a little tweak that’s going to make a hell of a difference!

Divergent and convergent thinking dates back to the mid 20th century, before smartphones were buzzing and laptops whirring... if you can imagine such a time. It was a period when our attention had more time to breathe and when we treated the creative and ideation process with more patience and respect. Innovation was less aggressive and competition less daunting. But divergent and convergent thinking, which has been pondered on and enriched by many thinkers and organizations ever since its apparition in the 1950s, is now more than ever a key to enabling successful collaborative innovation.
