TRAILBLAZER
visual collaboration , team members can be connected to easily turn their most innovative ideas into reality and stay aligned through all stages of a project .
Research by Lucid found 75 % of employees said collaboration suffered the most during the pandemic . How can businesses overcome these challenges ? The way we work evolved slowly before the pandemic , and truthfully , staying stagnant with those prepandemic workflows and tactics just won ’ t cut it in today ’ s everchanging market . This is an exciting time for companies to reevaluate the tools and processes needed to improve operational resiliency while also keeping employees motivated , productive and aligned to drive success , especially when teams are hybrid or fully remote .
This starts with selecting meaningful workplace solutions that are easy to use and can integrate with other workflows . At Lucid , we truly believe in the power of visual collaboration because we use our products to align and build with each other every single day . It ' s amazing to see the innovation that has come as we ' ve continued to integrate our own products into our workflows .
What is the biggest challenge you have faced in your career ? One of the most interesting challenges about helping create a new category is earning the support from others who may not understand the opportunity yet .
As Lucid tried to raise money during different junctures , potential investors would question how large the market was and whether our growth might imminently stall . In earlier years , this often resulted in many months of receiving rejections from investors and slowly piecing together our initial rounds of funding . Hearing “ no ” repeatedly from countless smart and talented investors was undoubtedly a grind and a challenge .
While we ’ ve been fortunate to partner with some great investors who caught the vision , we ’ ve had to prove others wrong by executing and growing consistently , year in and year out , and helping paint the vision of what visual collaboration can , and ultimately will , become . That said , it ’ s been a challenge we ’ ve welcomed .
