|---|---|---|---|
| Productivity in remote working environment | |||
| Effective collaboration (what it is and how to achieve it) remotely | |||
| How to achieve and sustain adequate levels of engagement (virtual teams) ("team energy") | |||
| Impact of remote working on our use of time, i.e. less time to commute - more time to have things done? | |||
| Alan Lewis | Hybrid teams - how to run them? The implications of hybrid ways of working | Hybrid working should be greater than the sum of its parts - i.e. local and remote work techniques and strategies. Effective Hybrid work is likely to require a re-designing of the team and work activity to be maximally effective and to address such issues as differential treatment, proximity bias and task allocation. | A new activity is under way to improve and evolve the product lifecycle management process. This will be supported by a distributed team, within in once he pandemic has waned some groups will be locally collocated. Design a workplan and approach for such a setting, taking account of issues with existing working practices and suggesting improvements. |
| Balancing work roles and responsibilities, i.e. "local" vs "external" (dual lines of reporting) | |||
| Alan Lewis | Trust - how, what? What is our experience has been so far? What do we know? What do we want to know? | Trust is a fundamental baseline for effective collaboration. Personal contact helps to cement trust and in a distributed environment of project operational centres establishing trust can become more challenging and impact on working practices and individuals. In a hybrid setting with smaller localised groupings (down to the individual level) and less frequent contact this can be even more challenging. What is the best way to establish rust in a hybrid setting? What approaches can lead to maximising the effectiveness of the overall endeavor? How is trust best maintained in a hybrid setting? | Initially summarise experiences so far within my current context. Review literature on dyadic trustThere may be an opportunity to look at trust establishment when joining a new group already containing individuals familiar with both remote and localised working |
