ESCP London - Virtual collaboration – creative opportunity or trendy affliction?

Prof. Marie Taillard and Prof. Daniela Lup offer us a lively discussion on virtual collaboration.  

Quick Overview:   The acceleration of virtual collaboration is one of the most important and immediate consequences of the Covid-19 crisis.  It's also a topic that people disagree on, depending on their own personal experience.  For some people, working together online is a huge opportunity to harness greater diversity and develop new ideas more efficiently.  For others, the idea of collaborating online is simply nonsensical -- how can you possibly bring out the best of your team members in a digitally-mediated environment?  We'll examine the evidence and examples to illustrate both sides and propose some solutions.  Join us and learn more.   

Agenda:  Discussion : 17:00 - 17:30  Q&A: 17:30 -18:00
