Asynchronous Collaboration

Asynchronous Collaboration

As we all find our footing in a fully flexible work environment, leaders are discovering that it doesn’t need to be a tradeoff. Flexible workplaces empower teams to creatively collaborate and remain agile without the need for dictation. By trusting our teams and their ability to work on their terms, we’re seeing boosts in productivity and morale.

?The old way of collaborating required an immediacy that posed issues for remote and hybrid work. Recreating the traditional workflow remotely will not achieve the results you are looking for. For teams to fully work together successfully in these flexible spaces, we must shift to embracing?asynchronous collaboration .?

?Asynchronous communication is any type of communication that has a lag between when information has been sent and when that information is received and processed by the recipient. With this model, leaders can unlock opportunities to scale their enterprise and unleash their teams. In fact,?Liam Martin, an expert on running remote teams , explains how to enhance your entire workflow with asynchronous communications on a recent podcast.?

?To support these efforts, asynchronous tools are also an excellent option for a dispersed workforce because they provide both flexibility and a permanent record of ideas, decisions, and discussions. Not every asynchronous tool is created equal. Some tools are better for specific tasks and workflows.?

?Here is a roundup of our favorite tools we use here at Voltage Control:

?MURAL - Trello - Slack - Loom - Google Docs - Figma ?

?With the proper tools in place, your team’s communication can be fast, accurate, and informative. When teams prepare asynchronously before a synchronous meeting, you will have more time for deep exploration of topics, ideas, and discovery when you meet.
