Writing down a thought in words or sketching it out with a visual or diagram helps you think better and generate ideas and innovate faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the days of a team huddled together around a whiteboard inside a conference room spitting out ideas are temporarily over &#8211; at least till COVID-19 is eradicated fully. And while most teams are working from home to support the latter cause, digital or <a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/lp\/online-whiteboard-tool\/\">online whiteboards<\/a> have become an indispensable tool to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we are going to show how you can use Creately &#8211; a visual workspace\/ online whiteboard for real-time collaboration &#8211; to improve remote team workflows through visual collaboration.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"919\" src=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Creately-Collaboration-Features-1024x919.png\" alt=\"Creately collaboration features\" class=\"wp-image-17961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Creately-Collaboration-Features-1024x919.png 1024w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Creately-Collaboration-Features-300x269.png 300w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Creately-Collaboration-Features.png 1761w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Creately is specially designed for team collaboration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importance of Visual Collaboration for Remote Teams&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to collaboration, there are many ways and tools to facilitate the process. However, collaboration through visual means stands out for a few good reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Our brains can grasp visuals faster than speech or text. <\/strong>If you want to clarify something quickly, accompany it with a visual in the form of a diagram, chart, or sketch.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Helps overcome language barriers.<\/strong> Everyone understands a picture or a diagram, and breaking down a complex idea with a visual, helps everyone digest it faster, whatever the language they may speak.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provides structure to discussions, meetings, and planning sessions<\/strong>. Sketching an idea, design, system or process using a mind map, <a href=\"\/lp\/ui-mockup-tool\">UI mockup<\/a>, use case diagram or a flowchart gives something abstract a formidable shape that is comprehensible to anyone &#8211; even someone with little technical knowledge.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It enhances memory.<\/strong> When we hear something we tend to remember only 10% of it, but accompanied by a visual, we are likely to remember 65% of the information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It stimulates imagination hence innovation.<\/strong> Want to generate new ideas faster? Start with a <a aria-label=\"mind map (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/lp\/create-mindmaps-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mind map<\/a>. It helps capture the free flow of thoughts and organize ideas in a meaningful way.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Helps build a common understanding of the bigger picture<\/strong>. When everyone contributes to drawing out an idea in a shared space, it helps align their vision and knowledge of the concept.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increases participation and engagement.<\/strong> An online whiteboard gives everyone access to the same space, allowing them to express themselves freely through visual means.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use Creately to Enhance Remote Collaboration&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a visual workspace for collaboration, Creately can be used in a number of ways to increase efficiency by remote teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brainstorming &amp; Idea Development&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In an office, a brainstorming session would usually take place in front of a whiteboard. Remote teams mostly use video conferencing or a chat platform to do this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An online canvas is far more brainstorm-friendlier than any of the methods above. It gives everyone access to the same space, enabling them to share and discuss ideas in real-time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Creately, you can start a video call within the app itself and watch as your team adds ideas onto the canvas during the session.
