Remote transformation of organizations with geographically dispersed teams

Remote transformation of organizations with geographically dispersed teams

A couple of weeks ago, Madavi facilitated in Dubai, with great success and satisfaction of the participants, the Annual Convention of the African and Middle East distributors of the Weidmuller Middle East team. This was reflected in their social networks.

This review gives us the opportunity to talk about one of those strengths that make the Madavi team unique: its ability to transform culture and business anywhere in the world. In this case, in person, but we also do it, and very well, remotely. This is one of the main differential values of Madavi.

An example of online facilitation: We worked in a summit* the change simultaneously with more than 350 attendees, from ACCIÓ, l’Agència per la competitivitat de l’empresa de la Generalitat de Catalunya from 40 countries, online. Not only was the progress of the 20 most outstanding projects shared, but it also marked the beginning of a new stage, in which the entire organization participates in a real 360º transformation.

* A Summit is a collaborative event for many: 20, 50, 100, 200 or more people. When they are held, they bring together – in this case online – at the same time and in the same place all the people needed to succeed and create collective action towards an attractive image of the future.

How to transform companies, business and culture remotely?

At Madavi, we change the way organizations change. What does that mean? That to transform organizations, instead of analyzing the problems, we look at what we call “Summit Moments“, that is, what DOES work. And we do this with The YES Planet, a platform where everyone uses their energy and talent. In this video we explain it:

Participants are connected with a simple click to a close and highly productive experience. This capability opens up new opportunities for organizations seeking transformation without the constraints of time and space.

6 advantages of remote organizational transformation

There are many advantages to facilitating remote organizational transformation, including:

1. Access to the best

By not being geographically limited, organizations can access the best facilitators anywhere in the world.

Flexibility and time savings for participants.

Teams can connect from any location and at times that suit their needs, which significantly reduces travel time and allows employees to organize themselves more productively. This is especially beneficial for organizations with geographically dispersed teams, where travel would represent a barrier to time and resources. Instead of having to gather all team members in one physical location, online sessions allow participants to connect from anywhere, whether from the comfort of their home, a remote office or even while traveling. Online sessions are therefore accessible to a much wider audience than face-to-face sessions.

3. Time flexibility

In addition to flexibility in terms of location, online sessions also offer greater flexibility in terms of scheduling. It is easier to coordinate complicated schedules to find a time when all team members are available virtually.

4. Reduced operating costs

Eliminating the costs associated with travel and face-to-face logistics is a significant advantage. Organizations can invest the resources saved in higher value activities that support organizational transformation.

5. Improved sustainability of change

The remote modality facilitates continuity and constant follow-up, making the transformation process dynamic and sustainable over time.

6. Greater inclusiveness and participation

Technology allows people from all areas, levels and locations to participate in the process. This is extremely important because what really drives transformation is the participation of many; collective and simultaneous action.

Is it possible to transform an organization without presence?

The question of whether the remote modality can replace the face-to-face experience is answered in practice: although there are differences, the use of technology has proven to be equally or more effective. Remote organizational transformation experiences are highly effective, engaging participants in an active and committed way. Remote sessions can even have emotional advantages for teams, as the remote environment sometimes allows them to express themselves more openly and feel more confident in their contributions.

For all these reasons, our platform The YES Planet is a gateway to organizational transformation without geographical barriers. Today, we can facilitate deep and effective change from anywhere and at an astonishing speed.
