If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional meetings that actually works, check out how asynchronous sessions function. Let me show you quickly:
Start by providing context, just like you would in a meeting. Explain what is happening and what the objective of the asynchronous session is. You can do this by typing it out, providing links to documents, or even sharing your screen in a video. The goal is to make it easy for participants to understand.
Next, clearly ask the questions you need answers to in order to make progress. It might look something like this:
Add a due date to ensure you receive the responses you need on time.
As participants provide their answers, you can view their input in real time. At the end of the session, summarize your conclusions and next steps, which will automatically be shared with everyone who participated, keeping them informed.
The best part? You don’t have to start from scratch. Especially when you’re just starting out, you can use one of our templates and adapt it to your needs. Here’s how:
