Is Online collaboration any good or effective?

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges for small businesses, particularly those that rely on live events. However, the shift towards online collaboration could have long-term benefits, such as a cultural shift towards remote work, leading to the possibility of a four-day working week and increased options for those previously excluded from the working world. However, adapting to online meetings and workshops requires careful facilitation to avoid miscommunication, and workshops can become dull webinars without spontaneity. Real-time collaborative workshops, such as Online Jams, provide a solution for maintaining the dynamics found in in-person workshops while minimizing resources and carbon emissions.
