The Challenge
● The response to COVID-19 has
prevented companies from collaborating
face-to-face
● The “show must go on” for many
companies to continue to collaborate in
the face of distributed teams
● Holding off on planning activities will
impact how businesses will recover and
maintain competitive positioning
Remote planning faces several challenges
● Planning remotely is different and should be treated differently
● An extended runway is needed for preparation
● Maintaining communications among team members is critical
Four key elements of effective remote
planning
1. Thoughtful advanced scheduling and preparation
2. Extended timeline for fully remote participation
3. Added logistics and coordinated remote facilitation
4. Collaboration tools required to facilitate remote interaction
Four half-days are recommended for
remote planning
