Duncan's background as founder of all of this work about hybrid working, is useful to connect with. He heads up our team and is lead tutor for these courses.
This video gives you a sense of what he is about and where this course comes from.
We find that humans and businesses get the most impact from a bit of a wider picture about how to use our courses well.
Once you have a Udemy course it remains yours linked within Udemy to your account for ever. This video shows you how you can keep coming back to different parts even when you have completed the course.
What we find is that our courses are ones where you will want to come back to the tools and activities at different times over the years as you use and learn the insights and practice that is contained here.
Please do complete your first time of doing the course in a reasonable time frame - such as within a week, and leave a review so that others know what you think of it. Please also say in your review what your perspective is (what you do), as that helps other humans connect with the benefit for taking these courses.
Thank you
Duncan.
With a 38% swing (2022/23 data) for all types of professionals, globally, towards hybrid working as a norm, it means on any specific day, other staff and professionals you are working with may be at home, or in their local community rather than the office.
This means that almost all meetings, such as board meetings, training courses, team meetings and multi-business meetings like forums, are very likely to be in the hybrid format.
In this lesson you are invited to learn what we really mean by a hybrid meeting, and what does that look and feel like.
Seeing is believing, yet right now a lot of hybrid meetings are not working well because this practice of how to do it well is new for most businesses.
That's why this course begins to consolidate your journey of organisational development practice improvement.
In this lecture we explain why getting this right is so important to business success
In this lecture you meet and hear from a range of business leaders in different sectors. These interviews have been edited throughout our range of course and show the benefits, as well as in this video the challenges that are experienced.

Allowing staff to combine working in the office and working remotely has brought a lot of flexibility into our lives. But it has also added complexity to the way we work and communicate with each other. Make sure you’re ready to go for hybrid meetings in your organisation with this 1-hour course.
In this course we will look at some of the key considerations of hybrid meetings and why they are an important part of our workplace capabilities now and in the future. We will explore some of the common challenges that we might face when participating in and facilitating blended/hybrid meetings and we will offer some tried and tested tools, strategies and approaches to support you in delivering your own successful hybrid meetings.
This course aims to…
Highlight some of the specific challenges of conducting good hybrid meetings
Introduce strategies and tools for delivering successful hybrid meetings
Provide an opportunity for you to reflect on the actions you can take in your context to improve hybrid meeting delivery
We are passionate about the changes that are coming about due to the changing nature of how we work. The technical challenges of running blended environments well, will mean that humans will have to think, prepare, and collaborate more to make blended meetings effective for all participants, whether they are in a room with colleagues or joining in remotely. This is all an opportunity. It is inevitable. We expect the reality will be that over the next couple of years the change in culture will be bumpy. We want to make that smoother. We want equality and parity of esteem. We want to live and work within the resources of 1 planet. We want that now... and meantime this shift is part of that jigsaw.
