Nine Key Learnings from working in projects across 3 continents and 15 time zones.

March 16, 2022 By epsis

Epsis Archives for epsis Page 3

When the pandemic hit us, we had to change the way we delivered projects. As we have been preaching about digitalization for years, we in many ways took our own medicine: We digitized the business – changed the way we worked, and most importantly, our technology and the way it was used and delivered. And we met customers who were brave enough to say, “we want you to deliver this project 100% remotely.” So, we put together teams with participation from Norway, US, UK, and Australia.

There are of course a lot of learnings in such projects – and we are still on the learning curve! But here are some key learnings to share from our experience so far:

  1. First of all – you need to have a brave team! A team that understands the premises of the projects – the goals, the processes for how its run, and the transparency in the communication and steps. The team will potentially have to use new/different technology as everything is remote.
  2. The team needs to work all digital – no files in local storage. This enables us to build on each other’s work while someone is sleeping.
  3. The projects need to have a local sponsor – meaning someone in the client organization needs to secure that everyone is prioritizing to attend meetings and to perform tasks. This requires too much time if it’s left all to a remote project manager.
  4. You need to have a good introduction meeting to gain trust with the team – this has turned out to be easier as we have gone deeper into the pandemic.
  5. The team need to set clear boundaries from the start:
  • when can we meet?
  • when are we online/offline?
  • what expectations are there regarding other competing tasks at the office?
  • when will what be delivered?
  • how will we communicate?

6. Follow up meetings with the project sponsor needs to be held on a regular basis, to adjust, help and support the project manager.

7. Don’t underestimate context – and realize that it is harder to get the context right for e everyone when we are all digital. Allow for some extra time to get that right – it pays off!

8. Be flexible and generous and open about the challenges in remote working – that build trust and help take away the added complexity of the situation

9. A key learning is that it is much more can be accomplished in this digital delivery model than what we initially anticipated – in particular if we continue to be conscious of utilizing all tools that are available (such as video, co-editing documents, give/take control over applications)

As we are passionate about the future of work, our take from this type of projects is that traditional business boundaries need to be challenged moving forward – as operations literally can be done 24/7 from anywhere. For this we need new flexible operation models that can leverage the potential. Resulting in less need for travelling and even access to resources you normally wouldn’t be able to access. We are looking forward. #FutureOfWork

About

Are you experiencing loss in efficiency when you move from an office environment to home working? Did you lose the oversight you once had in an operations center environment when your team went virtual? Are your remote operations not properly integrating to deliver the core business needs? Are you contemplating developing performance improvement initiatives or building operations center environments in a post pandemic world?

If you answer “yes” to any of the above questions, we believe you would benefit from this webinar. Maybe you would get to get some food for thought on how to support efficient ways of working in modern work environments.

In this webinar, Epsis’ Principal Consultant, Alex Clark will discuss how we all – as part of a hybrid work force – can learn from the experiences of operational business have had to face when building their operations centers. He will discuss ways of working in these modern work environments and how operational businesses can virtualize their operations center activities going forward. This is the reality of the “future of work”, and we need to adapt to fulfil the specific needs and challenges.

The webinar will give practical examples on how teams together may improve their ways of working using Epsis’ software tool Enify.

ALEX-220x220

Background

Epsis has been designing, building and managing the work inside operations centers for the last 15 years. Over the past 2 years we have had an innovation project on virtualizing operations and operations centers – together with our industry partner, Equinor, and with Innovation Norway.

Operations centers often act as a gateway between remote operations and the expertise in the main office. The underlying business aim is always to establish an efficient working relationship between sites built on mutual understanding and trust. But the world changes. With COVID-19, skilled workforces have been splintered and have been forced to work from home. Within the information worker space there is a new effort to support blended working or continue remote working. This is often referred to as a hybrid work model. On the surface these types of work environments may seem to be different from an operations center, but the practical problems are near identical; to build “one team” regardless of location. What used to be a problem for companies with very operative activities (such as E&P and mining companies) is now is experienced as a general work problem impacting any a much wider group of teams and companies. This is the #futureofwork.
