Target Group 

The workshop Virtual Collaboration in a Global Setting is relevant for you who works in a global context with international colleagues/partners and often facilitate virtual meetings, you do online events and/or drive global projects with a distributed team.

Format 

4 online sessions @ 3-5pm CET on Sep 14, 21, 28 and Oct 5, 2020.

The workshop is delivered in English with a maximum of 12 participants.

Workshop Process 

The workshop is offered as an open enrolment learning opportunity. Participants from different companies, various industries and countries will be learning together.

A pre-workshop survey is sent to all participants to learn about individual experiences and challenges. The survey inputs are used to customize the workshop design and to fit needs expressed.

During the workshop interactive exercises, breakout group discussions, and group dialog using whiteboards are utilized with the core focus of involving all participants and maintaining a high level of engagement. A range of different online tools will be used and demonstrated for inspiration.

Participants should plan for approx. 1.5 hours of prep work per week as articles and videos will be assigned to view and discuss with learning partners between the scheduled 4 sessions.

Bringing your new learning back to your work is essential. Throughout the workshop we focus on how new knowledge can be translated into skills: What will you do differently with your team? Which habits will you change in your online work – and how?
