Not long ago, we ran a survey on the prevalence of remote collaboration in today’s organizations. More than 1000 respondents contributed to this research providing us with insights on virtual work in their offices. Even the first glance at this data shows that remote collaboration is a really hot trend today. In fact, 83% of respondents already spend at least a few hours each week working remotely, and one in four respondents foresees his or her team going fully virtual within just a year or two. Based on a thorough analysis of responses to Wrike’s survey, Andrew will highlight the ups and downs of this process: the most valuable advantages, the common fears and the difficulties of remote collaboration.We bet you agree that numbers are always better when combined with practical advice. That’s why in the second part of his speech, Andrew will share 7 efficiency tips, based on his 10-year experience of managing global teams. How can you strike a balance between unification and personalization in your team’s work? What are the best ways to keep remote team members in the loop about what their colleagues are doing? How can you make sure people don’t get “siloed” in tasks while not becoming a micromanager? Any leader of a remote team faces these challenges at some point in his or her work, and we hope that the Wrike team’s experience will be valuable to help you successfully overcome them.
We look forward to this great event and will share the best practices discussed in Vancouver in our blog later!
