“We have Hugo connected to Slack, Hubspot, Github, Jira and Zoom. I will never forget the moment when I took my first meeting in Hugo. It was as if all of my team and apps were in the meeting with me.”
It completely changed my meeting habits, creating more time for me to do other things . . . and keeps me incredibly organized and focused.
Just as Slack connects us to our colleagues and tools through an innovative collaborative interface, Hugo does the same with meeting notes . . . Hugo will quickly become the go-to solution for organizations that want their teams to be more aligned and their meetings more productive...
Hugo is how we prepare, take notes, and action takeaways for every customer and team meeting. We walk in effortlessly prepared, our CRM and other apps are always up to date, and handovers and customer collaboration is a breeze.

Brainstorm
A great way to encourage everyone to speak up and to mitigate groupthink is to begin with silence: a solo brainstorm where each individual writes down all of their ideas on post-it notes. This should only last a few minutes. Be sure to use a timer to make sure you stay on track. As people are jotting down their ideas, the facilitator can begin to collect those post-its and start grouping them into themes and concepts onto the whiteboard or blank wall.
Voting
After the initial brainstorming session, it’s often useful to have small, circular colored stickers so that people can vote on their preferred ideas. Consider giving each person a maximum of two stickers (or “votes”) per brainstorming sprint, and dole them out accordingly.
Summarize
The facilitator should paraphrase and synthesize as many of the points as possible to make sure everyone is following.
Prioritize
When the top ideas have been voted upon, it’s time to decide how to take action. Here are two questions the group should determine before leaving the room:
