I am a very experienced facilitator<\/strong>. About 90% of my experience is on face-to-face workshops. But I already had a lot of experience with remote facilitation.<\/p>\n

Thoughtworks<\/a> has always had many distributed teams. So, many times, I have helped some distributed teams with inceptions or other collaborative workshops, remotely.<\/p>\n

But, in the last two months, the remote facilitation has been my day to day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’m learning faster than I can share. So I will not wait until I have all consolidated learning to share (like I did with the Lean Inception content). I will share as soon as I have something that can be reused (and help other facilitators).<\/p>\n

When I structured the book Lean Inception<\/a>, I tried to keep it lean. So I left a lot of text related to the subject of the book on pages and posts<\/a> on my website. In the book, I refer to those pages and posts.<\/p>\n

This worked well. In addition to the book being leaner, I have been able to review the text on facilitation techniques<\/strong>. I managed to adjust it in a way that makes sense for both face-to-face and remote inceptions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Check out the Facilitation Techniques page<\/a>, now with a review including the context (and more learning) on remote inceptions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A very important tip<\/strong>: The specific tools help a lot (for example. Mural<\/a> as the remote wall, Zoom<\/a> for videoconferencing and FunRetrospectives<\/a> for icebreaker activities). There are a lot people sharing how to use remote tools. But, the biggest challenge today is to apply facilitation techniques, very effectively, to the reality (and challenges) of remote workshops.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decide whether and when to apply each of these facilitation techniques<\/a>. Consider it for each activity in your collaborative workshop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reflecting on these workshop facilitation techniques<\/a> helps me to prepare Lean Inceptions and other remote workshops. I hope it helps you too, and you have great success on your remote workshops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
