We kick things off with a discussion on the challenges being faced by organizations that have been compelled to adopt remote-work during these trying times.We have an amazing panel with us today. We’ll be introducing them in the upcoming tweets. #STinsights. Visit https://t.co/16ERZxIgDz for more such discussions. #Tweetchat #OneHCL #Agile pic.twitter.com/JkdWxzZCZo

Enabling collaborating and engaging in an Agile teams approach has become a critical necessity to ensuring trust and transparency.We are going live with the #Tweetchat. Here's the 1st question. #STinsights #OneHCL #Agile pic.twitter.com/cscBbF2JQB

Video conference burn out is a real danger. At least with back-to-back meetings in real life you got to walk between room. WIth video confs there is no option.
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
In addition, collaboration tools largely mimic real life rather than reinventing collab.#STinsights #OneHCL #Agile
Could not agree more - do you feel the need to be on-screen all the time or has your team agreed to camera norms? #STInsights #OneHCL
— Karin Thompson Brown (@KarinThompsonB1) July 2, 2020
I prefer to see people on screen during meetings, but off camera at all other times. It's important to treat people like adults and trust that they are doing their work. #STInsights #OneHCL
— Jen Stirrup #Leadership #WomenInTech #Diversity (@jenstirrup) July 2, 2020
That's exactly right!!
— Kirk Borne (@KirkDBorne) July 2, 2020
Hello Jen!#STInsights #OneHCL
.@jboogie interesting point: "collaboration tools largely mimic real life rather than reinventing collab." Any examples of real life aspects being mindlessly/ineffectively transferred to collaboration tools? @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL #Agile https://t.co/8GftzeAUqH
— CIO Straight Talk (@CIOStraightTalk) July 2, 2020
I’m enjoying Clubhouse as an alternative to traditional collaboration tools
— sandy carter (@sandy_carter) July 2, 2020
It uses #voice not text nor video @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights
Agreed. Companies need to understand offline≠online.

What works in a physical sprint doesn't necessarily work in a virtual sprint. (Talk about a physical whiteboard v/s a shared-screen during a virtual sprint.)#STInsights #OneHCL #Agile pic.twitter.com/xXtAMxveTB
The white board for example. We use a virtual version of it because we use a digital version of it. Does it make sense in a distributed world? Has anyone challenged this model? I know I, for example, have not. It feels obvious but is it?
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
A1: One of the key parts of being #Agile is "...being able to adapt to rapidly changing environment." And the current, uncertain times allow the best opportunity for teams to be adaptive and agile.
— Moin Shaikh (@moingshaikh) July 2, 2020
The more adaptive you're, more agile your org. becomes.#STInsights #HCLOne
So true Moin ... now what about those many IT orgs that were still living waterfall? #STInsights #OneHCL @CIOStraightTalk
— Cindi Howson (@BIScorecard) July 2, 2020
Be agile or be fragile ;)#STinsights #OneHCL #Agile
— Moin Shaikh (@moingshaikh) July 2, 2020
Visibility! How do we all see the same thing? Leveraging common tools and team norms for engagement becomes the increasing imperative for success.
— Karin Thompson Brown (@KarinThompsonB1) July 2, 2020
Q1 Karin is right. This is why #Diversity and #Inclusion is so important in the workplace, virtual or in-person. It helps to understand other points of view which help to lift everyone up. #STInsights #OneHCL cc @KarinThompsonB1
— Jen Stirrup #Leadership #WomenInTech #Diversity (@jenstirrup) July 2, 2020
Trust and delegation to people you can't see working are now required, not optional. Anyone who didn't work that out before is struggling extra hard to figure it out quickly.
— Bret Mogilefsky (@bmogilefsky) July 2, 2020
In my own experience, trust and delegation was one of the toughest things to learn in my career. Remote working is teaching us all many lessons in a short space of time #STInsights #OneHCL @CIOStraightTalk
— Jen Stirrup #Leadership #WomenInTech #Diversity (@jenstirrup) July 2, 2020
Yes Jen, this is where I am hearing managers have had the toughest time - loss of control, so overschedule meetings #STInsights #OneHCL @CIOStraightTalk
— Cindi Howson (@BIScorecard) July 2, 2020
Next, our experts discuss the role of a virtual agile approach in empowering organizations.Alignment, visibility and collaboration are the terms used to justify the behavior.. but it really is just 'loss of control', 'no trust' and 'lack of empathy'

Enabling flexibility is key to helping organizations adapt as they shift to a distributed operating model.Join in the conversation using #STinsights #OneHCL #Agile #Tweetchat. And our second question is: pic.twitter.com/Eh7LWAd2Gx
— CIO Straight Talk (@CIOStraightTalk) July 2, 2020
I'm not sure what "virtual" agile framework but agility is the key to surviving the distributed reality everyone finds themselves in at the moment.
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
If you were practicing a rigid form of agile (i know, sounds weird) increasing the ability to flex it now is key.
Next, the panel investigate the factors necessary to ensure a successful agile distributed workforce model.Adaptation is such a key skill. Knowing when to pivot and how to pivot @CIOStraightTalk #STInsights #OneHCL
— Jen Stirrup #Leadership #WomenInTech #Diversity (@jenstirrup) July 2, 2020
Providing remote-access IT infrastructure and offering flexibility in schedules can help create a more seamless workflow.Time for our third question for the forum. Keep the questions coming! Join the conversation using #STinsights #tweetchat #Agile #OneHCL pic.twitter.com/kN0tHoSOMS

Flexible work hours. Great hardware for every employee (this includes furniture). Top speed internet and the easiest to use sharing/collab tools you can pay for. Anything you can do to reduce friction improves distributed collaboration. #STinsights #tweetchat #Agile #OneHCL
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
Friction Reduction is a great Physics concept to be applied in these #DigitalTransformation times! The gravity of the current situation demands it.
— Kirk Borne (@KirkDBorne) July 2, 2020
Thanks Jeff.@CIOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL
It's my background in #ux that always brings me back to basics -- how do we make this the path of least resistance? #STinsights #tweetchat #Agile #OneHCL
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
Awesome! :) And it's my background in #Physics that always brings me back to thinking about fundamental underlying universal principles. ?#STinsights @CIOStraightTalk #OneHCL
— Kirk Borne (@KirkDBorne) July 2, 2020
But of course, with many approaches to choose from, knowing which one is right for you can be a challenge in itself.q3 Consistent communication. Creating a clear route for feedback and ensuring that people are all heard. #STinsights #OneHCL
— Jen Stirrup #Leadership #WomenInTech #Diversity (@jenstirrup) July 2, 2020
Each organizations needs to closely assess it's requirements and adopt a tailor-made solution right for them.A big shoutout to everyone on our panel. Here’s our fourth question. Join the conversation using #STinsights #tweetchat #Agile #OneHCL pic.twitter.com/dqocb4AGt2
— CIO Straight Talk (@CIOStraightTalk) July 2, 2020
Just like in-person teams, distributed teams' agility will be defined by a process they ultimately determine on their own. We can provide guidelines, frameworks and starting points but teams should be allowed to evolve beyond. #STinsights #tweetchat #Agile #OneHCL
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
And finally, we once again ponder on what the future may hold.true
— Cindi Howson (@BIScorecard) July 2, 2020
The only thing that’s constant is change. And our ability to adapt in time will make all the difference.Here’s our final formal question to the panel—but keep shooting YOUR questions, using #STinsights #OneHCL #tweetchat #Agile pic.twitter.com/DOXeLfR07N
— CIO Straight Talk (@CIOStraightTalk) July 2, 2020
And with that we close another fascinating session! Our sincere thanks to the panel!Teams will reform to meet the constraints of timezones I believe. Where, before, it was tolerable for an occasional off-hours meeting to accommodate far-away colleagues, in the long-term this has to change. #STinsights #tweetchat #Agile #OneHCL
— Jeff Gothelf (@jboogie) July 2, 2020
