The findings show the evolving landscape towards the business community embracing collaboration and creativity over traditional work experience. As more leaders and businesses grow to embrace creativity and collaboration, Prezi continues to evolve its design to cultivate a collaborative space for sparking and sharing ideas. Key findings from the survey include:
Creativity vs. Experience: Creativity (42%) tops experience (20%) as the most valuable asset to businesses
Groups vs. Individualism: 97 percent of businesses say that groups are necessary to generate ideas
