A Strategic Approach for "Work from Home in Covid-19 times"

The digital employee experience is so challenging in COVID times, it can't change the technologies that people use, without also helping them change their skills and habits in the process. While many organizations will be tempted to pave the cow path with remote work, just replicating what was in the office at the home or local co-working studio, this would be a mistake and a missed opportunity for many organizations. Instead, as coronavirus may end up making people -- at least temporarily -- far more isolated than most of us ever have been at work, employees may likely have a key opportunity to create a compelling new digital remote work environment that is far more engaging, participatory, and full of human connection, context, and contact that we've ever had before. In this paper, we focus on trial of innovative new tools, establish important news skills, shift your culture digitally, and prepare for whatever is beyond coronavirus and the current distractions it is causing us. Let's use our new remote work effort to begin to build a genuinely better and more effective organization.
