Enabling Remote Work and Distributed Teams

This fast-paced, hands-on workshop teaches you and your teams how to thrive in a world where everyone is working from home. Our experts have led and coached many virtual teams in their own work, and in this workshop, they share their expertise with you.

The shift to remote work may feel sudden, but for many it’s nothing new. Enterprise technology and project teams in particular have been overcoming the challenges of being distributed for quite some time. This is good news, as there’s a robust body of knowledge and many good practices available to draw from. There’s also a wide range of tools available to support them. In fact, many recent trends in both practices and tools are specifically designed with remote and distributed teams in mind. We’ll show you how to use them, and quickly equip you for productivity in the world of remote work.
