Executive Summary Not being able to work together in the same room with colleagues may become a major challenge due to the coronavirus outbreak. To make virtual meetings work, you might need to adjust how your team conducts them. Prioritize video, but offer a dial-in option.
How Do I Start and Host a Meeting? There are good meetings and there are bad meetings. Bad meetings drone on forever, you never seem to get to the point, and you leave wondering why you were even present. Effective ones leave you energized and feeling that you've really accomplished something.
We asked six creative leaders how they set the scene for creative exchanges and productive collaboration in the age of remote work and distributed teams.
Creativity thrives in limitations, and little check-in meetings with a specific agenda and a clear briefing to brainstorm can provide excellent results, as they have built-in time constraints.
Online collaborative tools let us literally be on the same page, editing a document together, collaborating using the phone or the built-in chat.
Remote working makes the participants prioritize time, effort and activities. There are less wasted minutes as the participants are prepared and on time.
