Purpose of this page: To document information about how OIT is currently facilitating remote work, telecommuting and collaboration between teams and staff who are in different physical locations, and to evaluate technologies and methods to increase effectiveness, efficiency and productivity of staff working in different locations.
Executive sponsor and lead of this effort: Brian Buckler
Scope and goals:
- Facilitate more effective methods, technologies and best practices for full or part-time remote workers/telecommuters, and also to facilitate improved communication and collaboration between OIT coworkers who are in different physical locations or even where teams are spread out in private offices within the same building.
- Facilitate open and continuous communication between team members who may otherwise be isolated or excluded from relevant conversations.
- Leverage technologies and methods that allow coworkers in different locations to interact in ways that emulate face-to-face interactions.
- Assess what OIT teams and individual staff are using today and identify what is working well, what are the challenges, and how are the challenges being addressed.
- Pilot/evaluate new technologies and experiment with new approaches.
