How can teams continue to generate, develop, and iteratively build new ideas in a virtual environment? Here are our principles that we rely on to ensure entrepreneurial innovation thrives even in challenging times.
REJIGGER THE AGENDA: We move fast, but non-stop screen time leads to disengagement and burnout. Give people time to step away, stretch, and renew. Break the content into modules, and forge ahead!
MINIMIZE FULL TEAM “SCREEN TIME”: Instead, leverage the power of smaller breakout teams to make collaborating, communicating, and sharing ideas easier.
