MASTERCLASS | Teamwork in the Digital Age
Présentation
How can geographically distributed teams communicate and coordinate more effectively?
Masterclass presented by Prof. Marwan Sinaceur
Working across locations and time zones is increasingly common - yet digital communication can easily create misunderstandings, slow decisions, and weaken coordination. Without clear norms, remote and hybrid teams often struggle with misaligned expectations, ambiguous responsibilities, and “silent” assumptions that go untested.
This masterclass focuses on practical, evidence-based ways to help geographically distributed teams function more effectively. It explores key challenges in digital communication, how to set team coordination routines and rules of engagement, why verifying assumptions matters, and how cultural differences influence communication styles and interpretation.
You will discover:
- How digital communication can distort intent, create friction, and reduce team effectiveness
- How to set clear coordination routines and rules of engagement for remote/hybrid collaboration
- Practical methods to surface, verify, and align assumptions before they become issues
- How cultural differences shape communication - and how to reduce misinterpretations and conflict
Leave with a practical framework to strengthen communication quality, clarify team norms, and improve coordination and trust in geographically distributed teams.
