## Blast! Reduces or Eliminates Critical Collaboration Barriers

| With Blast!, participants avoid . . . | That Means . . . | Which Improves Collaboration Math by . . . |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Apprehensions about sharing challenging or politically charged perspectives | People can contribute ideas free of concern about others’ reactions or expectations within the anonymous Blast! environment. | - Empowering participants to immediately share ideas free of judgment. - Supporting more authentic and honest participation when addressing difficult topics. |
| Challenges contributing ideas due to uncomfortable thinking styles | Quick thinkers can generate multiple ideas in the moment while reflective thinkers can use the Orbit follow-up’s extra time to react and share ideas. | - Allowing both *immediate* and *reflective* thinkers to experience format options that fit diverse thinking styles. - Even letting people who *think aloud* talk about ideas with others before sharing their input. |
| Disadvantages from participating remotely in a hybrid setting | Everyone anywhere can use text-based collaboration within Blast! to actively participate with comparable impact.   | - Eliminating excuses for excluding diverse thinkers from participating in collaborations. - Removing location-bias that typically advantages in-person participants during hybrid meetings. |
| Enduring unproductive activities and down times during extended meeting | The Blast! modular format supports spacing apart multiple collaborations to allow offline time for processing new input. | - Engaging participants with further exercises that naturally reflect previous Blast! input. - Improving productivity through separating input processing activities (sorting, analysis, etc.) from collaborative meetings. |
| Meeting distractions when cooped up all day   | Busy executives can stay focused and present throughout Blast! collaborations because a 30-minute meeting fits hectic schedules. * * | - Focusing more time on generating ideas and sharing perspectives versus catching up drop-in participants about what’s been happening. - Allowing those who can’t participate live the opportunity to contribute after the Blast! with full visibility to all live input. |
