Collective thinking is key to the architectural profession. As architects we lead projects and teams collaboratively with consultants, clients, contractors, and others. Our tools and arrangements are based on physical presence as we design, build, inspect, and deliver buildings.

And now we must rethink these, with the knowledge that some new won skills may need to be retained. How can we ensure the wealth of expression and collaboration are maintained in times of social distancing and digital meetings? How can we continue to work together and harness a new strength in this time, and can we reinvent what true collaboration is? 

In this disucssion we ask Five Key Questions:

• What is the best icebreaker you have seen used in a digital team meeting?

• How do you keep team spirit and motivation up, and also keep on task?

• How do you manage the power dynamics? Do you find you read others differently?

• What enables productive dialogue and trust?

• How can we weave culture and rituals into the digital / Corona driven work stream?
