Leveraging Collaborative Technology for Productivity and Connection

What Is Collaborative Technology? Collaborative technology refers to tools and systems designed to better facilitate group work, both in-office and remote. Collaboration technology has quickly become a necessity for organizations in every industry.  The ability to streamline communication and collaboration efforts between in-person and remote teams provides organizations with multiple benefits that can equate to greater success. 

Working in a collaborative environment isn’t just about getting more work done faster, but working together effectively, with people at the center. With the growing trend of hybrid work and employees striving for a flexible working environment, teams need to communicate, collaborate, and share ideas quickly and with purpose. How can you leverage the best technology to help you support your mission and do the work that is important to you?  

In this workshop you will learn about: 

  • Designing a collaborative culture 

  • A variety of tools including

    • Communication technology (email, messaging)

    • Conference technology (video conference, document sharing)

    • Coordination technology (calendars, project management)

  • Collaborating with AI (Artificial Intelligence)

  • Best practices when using collaborative technology 

LEVEL: Beginner-Intermediate 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Anyone and everyone who works with their team to get the work done. This workshop is great for anyone who does project management, plans events, or writes grant proposals with others, or just wants to learn what’s available beyond email and Zoom meetings.
