THINK: “Digital First”
1. PEOPLE: Remote Team Situations
1. SPLIT TEAM
2. MIXED TEAMS
3. ALL REMOTE
There are three main settings for remote collaboration.
2. Digitally-Defined WORKSPACE
WEBCAMS
AUDIO
SCREENS
FILES
CHAT
The digitally defined workspace consists of an ecosystem of tools.
Typically tools include some combination of audio, webcams, screensharing, chat, email, and file sharing.
What’s missing is a virtual whiteboard...
COLLABORATION ECOSYSTEM
2. Digitally-Defined WORKSPACEAdd a virtual whiteboard to your ecosystem of tools.
3. Digital First PROCESS
Design consists of divergent and convergent thinking.
However, some offline exercises will NOT work well online, e.g., breakout groups. Change your process to be digitial first.
Use multiple devices to involve others, and leverage being online.
3. Digital First PROCESS
Working digitally provides more opportunities for asynchronous collaboration.
Templates let others contribute at any time from any place.
Assign pre-work and post-work to keep the conversation going.
4. RESULTS: Benefit from flexible structure
● You can do the analysis in same place
● Copy notes for alternative clustering
● Use voting for group consensus
