Leo:
"Good morning, everyone! Thank you for joining. I've noticed that while we're getting things
done, there are moments when communication gaps cause delays. Let’s brainstorm some
strategies to address this. Sophia, what’s your perspective as someone working in-office?"
Chienard:
"Well, sometimes it feels like remote teammates miss out on informal updates that we discuss in
the office. For example, after meetings, we often talk about action points that don’t always make
it into the official notes."
Leo:
"That’s a great point. David, as someone remote, do you feel this affects you?"
Rhenzel:
"Yes, definitely. I sometimes find out about changes or updates much later, which affects my
work. Maybe we could have a centralized place for updates?"
Leo:
"Great suggestion! Raj, what can we leverage from a tech standpoint to bridge this gap?"
George:
"We could use a collaboration tool like Slack or Microsoft Teams more effectively. For example,
we can create a specific channel for post-meeting updates, so everyone gets notified in real-
time."
Leo:
"I like that idea. To make it work, we need clear guidelines. Here's what I propose:
1. Every meeting will have a designated note-taker who shares action items in the update
channel.
2. We'll schedule a weekly 15-minute 'sync-up' where remote and in-office teams can share
highlights informally.
3. Lastly, let’s all commit to tagging team members in messages when we need their input."
Chienard:
"That sounds fair. I can volunteer to test the new system this week."
Rhenzel:
"Me too! I can ensure our marketing team adopts it right away."
George:
"I’ll set up the channels and send a quick tutorial on best practices."
Leo:
"Perfect. Let’s test this strategy for the next month and revisit it in our monthly meeting. Thank
you, team!"
