The Future of Work Scotland team are pleased to bring you this intriguing session with Designing Collaboration consultancy co-owner Andrew Pope joining us from Australia.

Every team is different – building hybrid ways of work requires an approach that allows teams to make their own informed choices. This session shows both the game-based approach that allowed teams to make their own choices but also how to identify goals for hybrid working.

Learning Objectives:

What can our attendees expect to take away from the session?

● How a UK government agency approached hybrid working practices for Microsoft Teams
● An understanding on some of the key issues and goal areas
● Learning some of the more popular techniques selected for hybrid ways of work
● Learning how a collaborative game-based approach allowed for problem discovery, overcoming blockers and solution development
