Organization 2.0 is a two-part course focusing on the critical success factors for and practical aspects of structuring organizations and working teams that are aligned with collaborative technologies. This course requires pre-work and provides approaches and templates for participants to apply in their own unique environments.  Rebecca works with participants during the Webinar and after via e-mail, phone or IM.

Part 2: Working Virtually: Telecommuting or the Doing the Digital Dance

Not having to drive to work, "working virtually," or managing a digital branch—it all sounds terrific, but the day-to-day reality can be rocky.  Most of our attention has been on the cool technologies, getting them into place and training staff and clients to use them. But it's the nature of the work environment, communication strategies and work processes that determine the success of the technologies in truly delivering the results everyone is hoping for. The stresses of "out of sight is out of mind" are real for many people, and there's nothing like communication confusion to lead to conflict. This session focuses on practical steps for organizations to take to ensure that those individuals or teams working digitally have not only the technology but also the supports and work practices in place to be productive and happy (yes, happy!).
