Workshops in the digital realm
Forward-thinking businesses see the value of shared digital and visual workspaces for some time now. It is possible to enable online collaboration in real-time, using existing frameworks and innovating in the approach.
Taking highly customized and interactive client workshops online can be a tough switch to flip — particularly for workshops that haven’t generally included a distance collaboration component. This week Startaparat has launched its Digital Workshops Project, taking all of its workshop consulting services online, facilitating remotely. It’s one of the vital resources developed by the company to help clients (startups and corporates) sharpen the response to the Coronavirus’s impact on the way of doing business.

“Two things were clear to us, first – that our clients are very resilient, and second that we have very resourceful and fast thinking consultants on our team. But we didn’t take this task lightly. Only with the appropriate support, and the preparation process we have made in the past three weeks, we were ready. We are confident we can help each client make “work-from-home” as efficient as “real – life”– says Sanja Petek Mujacic, co-founder and culture expert. “We wanted to make sure our clients will have quality learning experiences but also understand how the experience will always be different based on what the situation is.” – she continues.
The online workshop can simulate the feeling of togetherness – ideas flowing and evolving. Encouraged by Startaparat consultants who have unique meeting facilitation techniques, clients can rest assured to get maximum from the remote work experience.
So how does Startaparat’s Digital Workshop Project Work?
Digital workshops are crated to maximize engagement for remote teams and individuals. In Startaparat, we use visual workspace combined with a video conferencing setup, in some cases interactive touch screens for the co-located team. Consultant and client experts are seamlessly integrated on-demand, the workspace can be rapidly scaled, and offer full transparency and customization of work. A visual, innovative workspace contains design thinking and agile templates, different frameworks, methods, and visual elements crafted by Startaparat’s consultants based on the best offline practices. These elements can also represent an innovation platform for clients’ teams, enabling repeatable innovation processes after workshops experience.
“Now that we understand better how our clients, and the whole world, are adapting to online life, we’ll continue growing online workshops. Of course, we are getting ready for the moment everyone is waiting for: when coronavirus emergency ceases, and in-person socialization resumes. Real-life workshops will be our priority, but a mix of virtual and real-life workshops is definitely a way we’ll continue exploring – Helena Rosandic Sepic, one of the co-founders, concludes.
