Key Learnings

The key learnings I share with you with the e-book are:

Go all-in virtual: Do not compromise due to the “circumstances”- commit to the remote environment and go all in.
Visualize togetherness: Create a connection that is visible and feels like being at the same place.
Set the mood and go through with it: Unlock creative thinking and playfulness by choosing a theme, inviting everyone to take part and then fully go for it.
Preparation is key: Think about every single detail, overdo dry runs and fallback plans until your (internal) agenda includes troubleshooting and fallback plans.
Create a self-explaining agenda: provide a fully transparent and easily accessible agenda. Include needed context in order for people to understand each session without a verbal explanation.
Leverage parallel communication: provide several communication channels simultaneously do nobody gets lost
Transfer offline ideas: adapt offline ideas that worked well.
Provide opportunities for random conversations: Initiate informal conversations by reserving dedicated time and space for mingling.
...and continuously more

To make this article inspirational and practical for you at the same time, I share with you insights from designing and facilitating the virtual company gatherings at BRYTER - one of the most international and progressive remote workplaces.
