Conducting Workshops Remotely
COVID-19 has changed how we work. Though, regardless of the workshop or meeting purpose (HAZOP, HAZID, Bow Tie, ALARP, 3D model reviews, training, etc., etc.), we have found a way to make it work.
Here are a few tips we have learned from conducting remote workshops:
- Be seen, turn on the video camera, non-verbal cues are important!
- Flip charts, post-it notes, whiteboards – use the online equivalent.
- A good scribe is more important than ever.
- Preparation, preparation, and more preparation – share workshop material beforehand.
- IT systems are like working with children and animals (predictably unpredictable), test it works for everyone beforehand.
- Frequent breaks to maintain motivation.
