Three top moments that matter for collaborating when hybrid with Nina Fountain

Real estate can be a powerful source of competitive advantage. When leaders want to make it so.

McKinsey recently said that the first step is to determine the corporate metrics and objectives that you want to achieve. The next is to identify the moments that matter for employees, suppliers, and customers to achieve those metrics and objectives.

Drawing on over a decade of experience with supporting leaders to maximise the benefits of flexible workplaces, there are three generic moments that matter. Every organisation could start by considering these.

In this podcast, I share two keys in how we think about communication when working hybrid, the three moments that matter – meetings, important conversations and opportunities for connection, and one simple tool that supports us to communicate more effectively in each of these moments.

Because communication shouldn’t be hard.
