Teaming in the new world of work
A tidal wave of change is occurring that makes the way we work almost unrecognisable. With the global shift to rapidly evolving flexibility, economic challenges and Covid workplace attitudes -all shifting concurrently - change is not only constant but exponential in its pace and scope. What is challenging your team's ability to adapt to remote working? What are the pitfalls?
Companies from startups to incumbents in all industries are experiencing the effects of the Covid Crash Course in teaming at a distance. Many teams and their leaders have shifted from being co-located to shuffling between the workplace and home – in a hybrid mode of teaming. This shift has placed greater importance on evolving our techniques to support hybrid teaming to break down silos and strengthen cross-functional innovation.
Join our expert panel over five (5) live debate sessions as they challenge the best ways to prioritise resources to enable our teams to accelerate innovation to quickly regain productivity and competitiveness.
1: Leadership Monday 27/7 11am: Self-leadership trumps being led by others
2: Productivity Tuesday 28/7 12 pm: Teams get more done working remotely
3: Activity-based Wednesday 29/7 1 pm: Colocating teams in groups provides faster outcomes than allowing teams choice of where they work
4: Retaining engagement Thursday 30/7 2 pm: The extra engagement from remote work/life balance is more valued than office culture
5: Ideation Friday 31/7 10am: Quality ideation is best done in a face to face environment
Safira Abdat from Be Confident will chair the panel discussion with industry experts from Human resources, Technology and Property and provide ideas and innovations to boost the engagement and effectiveness of your teams.
You can drop into this event at any time.
