we don’t know how long we will be quarantined, but most experts predict that it is likely that this pandemic will have a longer-lasting impact on how work is performed, require adjustments in our interactions (particularly in teams) and other organizational and work processes.
For background, I am asking you to read a couple of short articles and find one that is relevant to your particular work situation, discuss and THINK about the articles and what they are saying. These are not complex articles but I hope they do provoke your thinking.
1. To give you context, read https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/how-the-coronavirus-is-already-rewriting-the-future-of-business and
In a brief paragraph for each article (a few sentences) discuss the key take-aways. Your discussions should convince me that you have read and seriously considered each of these articles.
2. Secondly, to tie this assignment directly into our course material: Read https://www.mmc.com/insights/publications/2020/march/what-the-coronavirus-means-for-working-together-remotely.html. SO…summarize the guidance that this article gives us regarding the future for working remotely, for individuals and in teams. Optional article if you are interested or if you know need more info about virtual teams: https://www.extension.harvard.edu/professional-development/blog/challenges-managing-virtual-teams-and-how-overcome-them
3. Finally, relate the changing nature of work as it pertains to the pandemic to your specific situation currently—either in your industry, your current or hoped-for profession, in an organizational setting (your children’s school, your church, any other aspect of your situation that you might want to touch on). You can cite an article that you have googled to find or just a well-organized discussion of your experience. If you can tie your discussion here back to the other articles that I have asked you to read or any aspect of the course thus far, that would be preferable.
