PM Insight Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting - Building Hybrid Teams - How to be Effective with both Remote and Co-located Employees
PM Insight-Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting:
Build Hybrid Teams - How to be Effective with Both Remote and Co-located Employees
Many leaders are eagerly awaiting the “return to the office” but most organizations are trending towards hybrid collocated and distributed teams - and underestimating the challenges they are about to face. Despite now having experience with full colocation and fully remote operations, blending remote and in-person interactions is more complex than “averaging” the two extremes. Ensuring that your People and Processes will thrive in a hybrid state requires targeted planning.
Fortunately, companies with satellite offices have been building best practices on hybrid operations for years pre-pandemic. There is plenty of opportunity for smaller teams and companies to stand on the shoulders of giants as they plan for, or dive into, this new way of working. Starting with concepts like “structured informality”, this is a talk about the potential contradictions of hybrid operations and how to leverage them to your best advantage.
Takeaways:
As a result of this keynote, participants will be able to:
- Co-located, remote, and hybrid teams require different norms to function effectively
- Hybrid can be *harder* than either colocated or remote collaboration
- Three best practices for building and leading effective hybrid teams
