ORGANISE YOUR TEAM
When it comes to remote working, oftentimes collaboration between colleagues and/or clients is a pain point. In a physical office, it used to be simple. Book a meeting room where everyone can gather then maybe start scribbling on a huge whiteboard to illustrate your point. Remotely however this can be quite a hassle. Sure, there are video call applications these days to help with this, but more importantly, you need an online environment where team members can collaborate effectively.
This is where Common Data Environment and Single Source of Truth environments come into play. It may sound fancy but what it basically means is an online space where files are accessible to every team member and any changes made is reflected instantaneously so there won’t be any miscommunication.
TRELLO
Trello is great as a collaboration tool as not only will it allow users to track tasks, timelines and productivity matrix, it also allows you to organise this into boards, lists and cards for easy visual identification. Best of all, it is customisable with more features as your team grows.
AIRTABLE
Airtable combines the power of a database with the familiarity of a spreadsheet. As every business has its own set of needs, Airtable allows the user to customise the database by modifying templates or just creating a new one from scratch. This database also allows for multiple users making it a great tool for online collaboration.
MONDAY.COM
This is yet another project management tool that is great for online collaboration. What sets this tool apart is that it offers a slightly different perspective compared to other tools. It focuses on processes instead of tasks, visual instead of text-based and works on a grid instead of hierarchy.
HOOTSUITE
With social media being what it is today, most companies would undoubtedly have some form of this integrated into their means of communication. Hootsuite is a social media management application that allows multiple users to manage, collaborate and schedule posts.
ASANA
This project management tool offers pretty much the standard set of features to help teams stay organised. Additionally, it also offers automated process management tools and integration with more than 200+ other applications so your team can combine everything they need to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate work, from start to finish.
