Creativity is hard to come by in the workplace, but with so many people trying to recreate the wheel each day, [according to ReadWrite](https://readwrite.com/2014/05/27/meeting-creativity-tips-tricks), there are many ways to get your employees thinking outside the box during your next company meeting.

**Think fast**

Crank up the intensity of your next brainstorming session by turning it into a speed round. By applying pressure to creative thinkers, they will come up with numerous farfetched – and even crazy – ideas. While many will not be usable, one might serve as a jumping off point for a more realistic concept.

**Start with the worst, first**

Rather than asking for the team’s best ideas, shake it up and ask for the worst ones. Often, within a few minutes of sharing bad ideas, it will jolt someone’s creative juices for a great one.** **

**Know your team**

Familiarize yourself with the team – what are their likes and their dislikes? What makes them tick? You can use this knowledge to ignite a creative spark.

**All hands on deck**

Prompt each team member to come up with a creative solution to a problem. Don’t let your team criticize any ideas brought to the table. Instead, have everyone else build on it or deconstruct it to a more streamlined solution.

**Keep it light**

Laughter is the best medicine for a creative block. Rather than shun humor, embrace it and encourage employees to engage in some light-hearted banter. Morale will spike, and it will loosen people up.

**Go for a stroll**

Sometimes a conference room isn’t the best place to talk shop. As an alternative, pair up team members and have them go for a walk outside. Their conversation will eventually circle back to the problem at hand and they could come back with a million-dollar idea.

**Incentivize**

No problem is too big to mount, especially if there is a reward on the line. Get their brains working overtime on a solution by offering a fun incentive.

A fun atmosphere is great for creative problem solving. [Let McVeigh Global Meetings and Events plan your next company meeting](https://www.mcveigh.com/connect/) – we’ll help get the ideas flowing.
