LDN 301 – COVID-19: Collaborating in the “New Normal”

A lot has changed over the last few months. We’re in the beginnings of a recession, we’re heading into a new normal and we can’t work together as we used to.

The future used to belong to in person interactions – but how is this changing?

Processes and Tools are important but individuals and interactions are still important – so how do we square the circle of working together without being together? How do we stay apart yet combine our creativity and energy? 

I’m joined in this episode by Andy Scotland, Head of Delivery at Kainos, who has some great insights to share about how to make collaboration work in the age of COVID-19.
