How to design a virtual company gathering that creates magic

About the Book
This is a minimum viable e-book. I improve it based on continuous learning and your feedback. I will be motivated by your purchase to iterate early and often. If you are not happy with the current version you can get a full refund within 45 days of purchase*. Leave me a feedback and I will be happy when you come back later, when the book evolved in what you are looking for. As early adopter you will get the minimum price and all following updates for free.
Key Learnings
The key learnings I share with you with the e-book are:
- Go all-in virtual: Do not compromise due to the “circumstances”- commit to the remote environment and go all in.
- Visualize togetherness: Create a connection that is visible and feels like being at the same place.
- Set the mood and go through with it: Unlock creative thinking and playfulness by choosing a theme, inviting everyone to take part and then fully go for it.
- Preparation is key: Think about every single detail, overdo dry runs and fallback plans until your (internal) agenda includes troubleshooting and fallback plans.
- Create a self-explaining agenda: provide a fully transparent and easily accessible agenda. Include needed context in order for people to understand each session without a verbal explanation.
- Leverage parallel communication: provide several communication channels simultaneously do nobody gets lost
- Transfer offline ideas: adapt offline ideas that worked well.
- Provide opportunities for random conversations: Initiate informal conversations by reserving dedicated time and space for mingling.
- ...and continuously more
