Remote & Hybrid Collaboration Clinic

Work better together—even when you’re apart.

Remote and hybrid work changes everything: how we speak, how we build trust, how decisions get made. This session helps culturally diverse teams surface the invisible assumptions that shape their digital collaboration.

Remote & Hybrid Collaboration Clinic

A hands-on session to decode how culture shows up in remote teamwork—and build more intentional ways to connect, decide, and deliver.

What This Session Helps With

Use this session when:

  • Your remote or hybrid team struggles with silence, miscommunication, or unclear expectations

  • You’re collaborating across time zones or cultures and it feels harder than it should

  • Messages are misinterpreted—or just ignored

  • Team members have different ideas about responsiveness, availability, or leadership

  • You want your team to work together more smoothly across distance and difference

What Happens

Your team plays a browser-based Serious Game designed to reflect the challenges of remote and hybrid work. The game introduces:

  • Asynchronous communication

  • Limited channels (e.g. chat only, staggered access)

  • Distributed decision-making

  • Pressure to coordinate despite incomplete information

As participants navigate these scenarios, their cultural styles become visible: how directly they communicate, how quickly they respond, how they handle silence or ambiguity.

We pause the game at key moments for reflection and planning. Using relevant cultural models, we explore how team members interpret different digital behaviors—and what unspoken norms may be holding collaboration back.

After each reflection cycle, the team updates its remote collaboration plan and tests it in real time by continuing the game.

Cultural Model Used

We draw on relevant dimensions from models like:

  • Erin Meyer’s Culture Map

    • Especially “Communicating,” “Trusting,” and “Deciding”

  • High-context vs. low-context communication styles

  • Time orientation and hierarchy where relevant

The model selection and emphasis are adapted to your team’s makeup and goals.

Typical Investment

  • Facilitation fee: €1,500 to €1,800

  • Game license: €89 per participant

  • Optional preparation (e.g. pre-session team interviews or platform integration): approx. €600 if needed

The game license ensures access to a well-designed, field-tested simulation built for intercultural digital collaboration. The facilitation process includes multiple feedback loops, planning cycles, and personalized insight for your team.

You’ll always receive a clear, all-included quote — no surprises.

How It’s Adapted

No two remote teams operate the same way. This session adapts to your tools (Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc.), rhythms, and unspoken norms. We co-create a digital collaboration plan that reflects your team’s real-life constraints and cultural diversity—not someone else’s playbook.

Outcomes

By the end of the session, your team will have:

  • Greater awareness of how cultural styles shape remote behaviors

  • Clarity on how misunderstandings arise—and how to prevent them

  • A team-generated plan for more effective digital collaboration

  • Tested agreements around availability, communication, and decision-making

  • A stronger sense of connection, even across distance
