Description

Corporate Collaboration Environment: Storing, Co-Editing and Running Team Spaces

Work in team spaces rather than email attachments and locate your documents every time

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

The organisation has rolled out a complete collaboration suite. In practice everyone continues to send attachments and keep files on their own device. Conversations are scattered between the mailbox and team channels. Nobody knows where to file a document or where to look for it a fortnight later.

These 14 hours put the daily use of this environment in order. Participants distinguish personal storage from team storage, file their documents in shared libraries and co-edit from the browser or from the installed application. Meetings, discussion channels and notes are all attached to the same project.

Learning objectives

  • Distinguish personal storage from team storage
  • File and retrieve a document in a shared library
  • Co-edit a file from the browser or from the installed application
  • Organise a team space into channels matching the topics handled
  • Run an online meeting and keep a useful record of it
  • Choose the right channel between message, conversation and shared document

What makes this programme different

A complete team space is built during the session and then used by the group
Filing and naming rules are written collectively and taken away by each participant
Choosing the right channel is practised on situations brought by participants
