Deciding Between Virtual and Physical Setups

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to identify the optimal environment (onsite or virtual) for conducting Business AI workshops based on participant needs and workshop goals, while understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each environment.

Selecting the Workshop Set-up

Choosing the right environment onsite or virtual is crucial for the success of a Business AI workshop. Each option has distinct advantages and challenges that can affect participant engagement and workshop outcomes. This lesson will help you understand these differences and make informed decisions to ensure the best experience for your team.

Let’s summarize what you’ve learned:

  • Onsite Workshops: Enhance team cohesion and trust but require more preparation and documentation time.
  • Virtual Workshops: Quick to set up with minimal documentation effort, though participant engagement may be lower due to distractions.
  • Tool Access: Virtual sessions require uniform tool access for participants, with additional technical support.
  • Hybrid Workshops: Generally discouraged as they disrupt group dynamics and leave remote participants feeling disconnected.
  • Format Recommendations: Prefer onsite workshops when possible, using virtual sessions as a backup.
  • Facilitation Techniques: Facilitators must adapt their approach based on the workshop format to ensure engagement and effectiveness.
