Tough Call: Facilitating Remote Decision Making
Kateryna Korovkina
Design Manager
Participatory decision making has never been easy - teams tend to avoid it due to difficult group dynamics and numerous stakeholders. And switching to remote doesn't really help... In these circumstances, how can we make sure everyone is heard? In this talk we'll discuss: - What is participatory decision making and what are the methods to facilitate it remotely? - How to facilitate sessions with complex stakeholder groups and conflicting interests? - How to deal with disruptive and resistive behaviour? - Is it possible to foster creativity and increase engagement in remote collaboration?
