Depending on the occasion and goal, duration and location, involved managers, departments or teams, respective hierarchical levels, known or unknown people, the requirements for organization, structure, implementation change. This has critical impact on anticipated conclusions and results.

Real and virtual space offer plenty of room for collaboration. Yet, success is a question of foresighted preparation, the anticipation of scenarios and the choice of the appropriate format.

  • Orientation through structure

    Introduction of the moderator, the topic, the goal and the process: This also includes the agenda, breaks, online rules (chat, work rooms, tools, rules in the event of technical problems, etc.). The “How do we talk to each other?” should also be clarified: When are cameras and/or microphones on/off, how should participants make themselves known if they wish to speak, etc.?

  • Presentation and attunement to each other

    The moderator guides the introduction of the participants. If a group knows each other, you can ask for a short introduction with name, task/reason/goals for participation. If a group does not know each other, you can also ask about personal expectations of the event. It is important to first perceive yourself and to adjust to each other (conversations need atmosphere!).

  • 3. Space for personal encounters

    Online, you need a special “area” for informal glances, gestures and conversations that usually arise over a welcome coffee, when looking for a seat or at information boards. Always ask your participants to dial in before the official start and to use break times later for personal exchange and questions for the others. Personal exchange during the session is also helpful for the variety of results. People want to be heard.

  • Engagement, activation and breaks

    Since perception is limited to visual and auditory stimuli online, important non-verbal signals are usually lost. This poses the challenge of really taking EVERYONE with you. The moderator should address, involve and activate, summarize content step by step, ask specific questions and initiate regular breaks.

  • Kindness, attention and humor

    Conversations need atmosphere: Friendliness and attentiveness are the be-all and end-all. It is important to draw everyone’s attention by listening carefully and asking questions. With a smile and a little humor this works all the better. Bring in a little lightness: Whose children or pets like to attend the meeting uninvited?

These tips are just an excerpt from our daily practice and are intended to provide initial orientation. Of course there is much more to consider.
