With brainstorming sessions in Lucidspark, it can be challenging to express complete honesty, especially in sessions that have higher stakes. Additionally, the tendency toward "groupthink" often stifles creativity and innovation.
Private mode solves these issues by hiding the authors and contents of sticky notes during a brainstorming session and giving you the option to keep authors hidden even after the session has ended.
The image below shows a simplified example of what users see during and after a private mode brainstorming session. It also shows the difference between choosing to keep sticky note authors hidden or to reveal them after the session.
Private mode is useful in a wide variety of situations, such as:
- Hosting a retroactive or post mortem after an important project
- Collecting feedback on workplace culture
- Evaluating proposals for cost reduction
- Facilitating sensitive discussions in the classroom
- Brainstorming ideas for diversity and inclusion initiatives
