From an in-person team to a distributed team

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

When you want to transition from an in-person to a distributed work-from-anywhere team your people must sit at the center of the entire process:

> Is the leadership 100% onboard
> What skills do the managers need to lead virtually?
> What concerns each team member?
> What challenges do they foresee?
> What skills does each person need?
> What is each persons digital literacy like?
> How do you ensure no one is left behind?

Etc.

Your people are one of the four pillars required to make remote work work.
