Not being able to work together in the same room with colleagues may become a major challenge due to the coronavirus outbreak. To make virtual meetings work, you might need to adjust how your team conducts them. Prioritize video, but offer a dial-in option. Test the technology ahead of time and make sure faces can be seen. Follow general meeting best practices, such as having a clear objective and circulating an agenda. Minimize presentation length, use an icebreaker to get everyone talking, assign a facilitator, call on participants, and capture real-time feedback via polling systems to make sure all voices are heard. Don’t be afraid to tackle tough issues. And remember to do a practice run while you’re still together. A small investment in preparedness now could have a huge impact if that time comes.
