Step 1: Review the scenario:
Your organization recently shifted to remote work. Since that time, you have heard complaints from a few co-workers concerning the lack of collaboration tools and difficulty effectively collaborating in a remote environment. You also know that your supervisor has recently received a number of complaints concerning the company’s online collaboration tools. Your co-worker recently left you a voicemail message expressing extreme frustration with the lack of collaboration tools and has asked if there is something that can be done to help the organization select and implement a collaboration tool.
Because of these complaints, your supervisor is in search of technology that can be used to effectively collaborate in a remote environment. As a team leader, you have been asked to present a 3-4 minute speech on one collaborative tool – providing the benefits, features, and advantages of using the tool in your workplace. Your goal is to convince the leadership team to invest in the one collaborative tool you have selected for use throughout the organization.
