Overview

June 23

Overnight, government agencies have been forced to implement new strategies for serving citizens and achieving their missions with employees who work from home. This is not a short-term change. Telework will be a fact of life for many state and local agencies for months to come – perhaps even permanently. High-functioning remote teams require a platform that allows them to collaborate internally and across agency lines to manage programs effectively, and make decisions quickly and efficiently. One major federal agency has embraced remote teams as a key part of its operations. The General Services Administration offers a model for state and local agencies looking to implement smart solutions for remote work.

On June 23, at 11PT/2ET, please join us for a special webinar featuring industry experts and GSA officials on how remote teams have transformed operations at the federal level, and how they can improve state and local government management as well. This valuable webinar will include:

• A live demonstration of the Trello application, which has enabled GSA teams to collaborate, brainstorm and bond remotely
• Advice and best practices from GSA leaders on implementing and managing remote teams in your organization
• Information on how telework can actually boost productivity and improve organization and project management
