Better collaboration in remote teams

As designers and Agile practitioners, collaboration plays a central part in our work. We hold workshops with clients, research with users, map things out to make ideas tangible. We engage in face-to-face interactions and often use physical spaces to support these processes. What lockdown has shown us is that when it is no longer possible to run projects in the “usual” way, we can still find a way. Transitioning into 100% remote working over the past months has offered us the opportunity to explore new approaches to get things done, together.

In this session, we reflect on our experience running a design thinking bootcamp remotely with one of our clients. What are the things that work? What doesn’t? We share some key learnings and offer practical tips to better navigate group dynamics and help unlock collaboration in remote teams.

As we move into an uncertain future, online learning has a lot of potential to support people and sustain businesses in their long-term strategies, but what makes a successful online learning experience?

In this session, we reflect on our experience running a design thinking bootcamp remotely with one of our clients. What are the things that work? What doesn’t? We share some key learnings and offer practical tips to better navigate group dynamics and help unlock collaboration in remote teams.

Whether you are looking to accelerate the development of new products or services or wanting to equip employees with new tools and mindsets that will help them thrive in a remote context, this webinar will offer new perspectives on remote collaboration and what online learning can offer.
