How Remote Teams Use Visual Communication to Strengthen Human Connection
Remote teams can collaborate by exchange of long texts such as emails and wiki pages or short texts such as Slack messages. But there are much more powerful ways to use all of our human senses and accommodate different learning styles. Visual communication is proven to be the most effective way to convey information... believe it or not it is in fact more effective, powerful and memorable than face-to-face exchange of verbal sentences.
Laïla will share her stories of how she fosters camaraderie in a fully distributed organization that is spread from Argentina to Europe.
