Webinar: Supporting Collaboration with Technology

The technology landscape is not just evolving faster — the people and processes in implementing technology are requiring more subject matter experts (SME’s) than ever before, across a wider set of disciplines than ever before. Companies looking to hire the best and brightest must compete on a endlessly-shifting playing field to garner talented people.

Scott Larsen discusses how your organization can build highly collaborative teams and allow you to utilize talent wherever you can find it. He covers the critical need to understand why your organization might want a collaborative or remote team, and gives insight into the practical details and real-world scenarios across various organizations with which he has worked. Balancing theory with practicality and reality, Scott will relay his real-world lessons for leading your organization in implementing collaborative processes and tools.

Software discussion will remain mostly agnostic but include a comparison of Scott’s experiences with tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams. On the practical side, the presentation will look into philosophies of using different types of communications tools such as email vs. messaging tools vs. conference call tools, as well as the SLA’s behind personal communications, in managing teams.

MTUG thanks volunteer board member Uli Stewart (Vantage Point Recruiting) for coordinating the speaker and topic for this month’s presentation.
