Suggestions for conducting a workshop remotely

Tarun Nair Adoor, Kerala, India

I am working on facilitating a workshop (6 to 8 hrs) for a new project.

As the team is working from home, it will be challenging to keep people engaged throughout when they are just connecting over audio or video call or may be few people might just dial in from there mobiles (considering worst case due to connectivity issues).

I am looking for views, ideas about how to conducted such a workshop, effectiveness of workshop and if any new out of box ideas which might help.

Hi Tarun,

What is this workshop - planning, kick off, brainstorming..

I think the way workshop is to be done depends on the way of interactions between the participants. There have been a lot of good suggestions and tools, the only thought I have is that duration of 6-8 hours online workshop for a relatively new team, may be challenging to achieve objectives. Have you considered splitting the workshop into two or three parts? It seems to me a big challenge for a project team that is just starting to work together in a new manner.

Hi Milena,
I agree with your view for possible splitting it in two three sessions, I am also thinking on that part. The usual flow is to do it in one long session, but that happens by meeting in-person. Now it might be more effective if we split it. Need to look at this options based on possibilities.
