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

About the Author

Tobias Leonhardt

Since summer 2019 I now design and facilitate the quarterly company gatherings of BRYTER. I saw and facilitated the fast growth of this company.

From day one, I was impressed. At BRYTER we do so many things “right”. Righter than I ever seen it at Zalando - a great, famous place for its openness and culture and pioneer in doing things right. At Zalando, I facilitated the growth from 120 to 2.500 people in Tech within 3 years. There I co-founded the Agile Coaching Team and was happy to design and facilitate large group workshops and community events with and for great co-workers.
