Working with a team of individual contributors might be a challenge from the perspective of how to collaborate efficiently. As we live in a digital age, we do have many resources available that can help us succeeding in this matter. Thus, it is important to develop the skill to use digital tools to collaborate better.
The participants will learn to assess needs in a particular situation (specific team, project etc.) and subsequently come up with a way of online collaboration that suits the needs of all stakeholders. They will learn about various solutions for teams to share materials, simultaneously work on outputs, communicate on a team and sub-team level, distribute and follow up on tasks. They will get to understand specific tools and ways of organising and what they offer, experience their pros and cons, so that they are able to suggest a tailored approach in any situation they might encounter.
