new resource pages - Managing virtual teams and online meetings and events
|
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the sharing of your materials and wisdom, and thanks to Nancy for setting up and hosting the group. The past few days have been interesting as we are seeing government and organisational policies and societal conversations evolve on an almost daily basis. This week, with travel restrictions and ‘social distancing’ strategies being promoted in the face of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease, many more agencies and businesses are encouraging staff to work from home – fast-tracking the need for learning how to manage effective remote working practices. So we're noticing (as others have pointed out) that its a new operating environment for many people. We've just put up a blog? post and two web portal pages to add to the support of those looking for guidance for more online collaboration: ?
The post -??
 ?-? highlights 3 strategic areas for improving the performance of teams who increasingly are? not co-located in the same building or workplace, but are operating from different geographic locations (nationally and internationally) and more frequently, given the coronavirus event, self-isolating and working from home. The three areas are:? i) clarifying roles, goals and processes; ii) communication and engagement; and iii) online collaborative tools.?
And there are also two related pages with annotated links to a range of online guides, reports and papers from our fellow international practitioners.

Nina, thanks for sharing this resource. I agree that it is a very user friendly guide. Kudos to those at UN Learning for Nature that developed it. I intend to share the guide with some clients who are unsure of how to go about moving some of their in-person programs to a virtual format, as this gives very practical tips on how to manage various aspects of this. I particularly?like the tips for participants! Michael Michael Randel Randel|Consulting|Associates:??Leading Organizations through Change and Growth

Hi Nina This is a gem, thanks for sharing! Just that on the tech side I would never recommend Skype anymore, as Microsoft is now making Teams as the default video collaboration tool and started to promote it also for home use. Also great news for Teams users, we are going to have soon breakout?groups and other nice little add ons.? Stay safe!
