As many of us now know, aligning stakeholders in a remote working environment presents unique challenges. To foster alignment, consider the following strategies:
Agree on shared objectives - define and communicate clear project KPIs and refer back to them repeatedly
Communicate effectively - foster transparency, and effective asynchronous communication. Send pre-reads and meeting agendas to have more effective meetings. Send clear and concise status updates.
Build relationships - actively involve stakeholders in decision making, get to know each colleague through regular 1:1s, and build a culture of trust and collaboration.
