How Flipcharts can boost creativity

We know that creativity is at the core of any project or business. So if you’re looking for a way to boost ideas, promote development or enhance the effectiveness of training for your employees, then a Flipchart could be the perfect choice. Invigorate your typical meeting environment with a simple and cost-effective addition - the humble Flipchart. This article will provide just a few of the many reasons how this item can help to harbour creativity and also increase productivity at your next conference or meeting. Movement Research suggests that people generate more creative ideas when they are physically active. A Flipchart will encourage your staff to stand up to present ideas, allow movement around the room and a physical act of turning back and forth between ideas like the pages of a book. Infuse your meetings with this flow and you’ll have the attention of everyone in the room. Visual Communication Our Flipcharts are large and spacious at A1 size which allows for items of interest to be displayed for everyone to see. Having a visual or written prompt behind your speaker can help to link connections between words and physical ideas and thus anchoring your speech further. Inspire others using a mixture of spoken word, diagrams and written ideas presented on a Flipchart. Freedom Get everyone involved with your discussion by using a Flipchart. Allow people to contribute ideas freely during the meeting with a brainstorm page in your Flipchart. This will encourage visual diagrams and links between quick ideas that can trigger off more lightbulbs between team members. Introducing this ‘game’ will stimulate creativity and increase engagement with your participants. Team Building By boosting the participation of your team in your meetings with the use of a Flipchart you are adding value to your employee network. Participants are able to share ideas, queries and even mistakes in a harmless environment. Offering engagement and openly inviting creativity through team-building activities in this way will make your work force happier and build a stronger and more honest bond between your staff members.
