Overview

September 19

The long-term shift to remote and hybrid work means government agencies need to view virtual collaboration in a new light. The first step was supporting virtual connections among employees and their supervisors to keep critical government functions operating during the pandemic. Now, the next challenge is enabling cross-functional teams to seamlessly collaborate on everything from project management and project deliverables, to complex procurements and RFP review boards, to critical operational tasks that must be managed remotely across a team.

Join Government Technology on September 19 for a live webcast focused on supporting and empowering cross-functional collaboration in distributed environments and where everyone has higher expectations around the quality of virtual interactions. This important session will cover:

Creating an environment to encourage greater interdisciplinary collaboration
Best practices for defining responsibilities and resolving swim-lane issues
Adopting new virtual collaboration capabilities without increasing the burden for IT staff
