Have you ever dreamt of quitting your job, and travelling the world instead?<\/span><\/p>\n

These days, there\u2019s no reason to commit yourself to a nine-to-five life of office cubicles and stressful commuting \u2013 unless you want to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019 social networking software company Buffer conducted a survey on the <\/span>State of Remote Work<\/span><\/a> in which 99% of respondents claimed that they would like to work remotely for at least some of the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the current global pandemic triggering something of an <\/span>exodus<\/span><\/a> from bustling city life and high rise office buildings in the capital <\/span>rapidly losing their appeal<\/span><\/a>, it seems that remote working is no longer just a trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The age of the digital nomad<\/b><\/h2>\n

The internet and the advent of cloud communications transformed the meaning of work. Now, remote employees around the world are discovering what it means to make work something they \u201cdo\u201d rather than a place they go.<\/span><\/p>\n

With an increasing number of job roles that can be done remotely, technology enables more employees to make choices about where and how they work. This has resulted in a rise in digital nomadism. Digital nomads typically use remote collaboration tools and telecoms solutions which allow them to work from anywhere with an internet connection<\/a>, be it a beach bar somewhere in Europe, a cabana in Bali, or simply a favourite caf\u00e9 in a market town beauty spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital nomad life means choosing to travel, without having to quit one\u2019s job. It\u2019s little wonder then that the number of digital nomads is expected to reach <\/span>1 billion by the year 2035<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t

What is remote collaboration?<\/b><\/h2>\n

In-person collaboration often happens incidentally, sometimes without us even noticing. In an office environment, you might bump into a colleague you\u2019ve been emailing in the corridor and come up with a solution to a challenge there and then. With in-person collaboration, you might arrange a brainstorming meeting to come up with creative ideas to pitch, or simply pop over to your colleague\u2019s desk for some advice on a particular task. Collaboration in a remote world takes a little more practice and requires a strategy, but the beauty of mastering remote collaboration means it allows much more freedom and flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"what<\/p>\n

The coronavirus pandemic necessitated remote working in many cases, and companies had to implement this as a knee jerk reaction under the assumption it would be temporary. However, many companies are now considering a fully remote approach or a hybrid approach to working structures moving forward. Those considering remote collaboration as a longer-term plan might want to look a little further into best practices to help their teams communicate more effectively whilst working remotely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, thinking about the right <\/span>collaborative architecture<\/span><\/a> to suit you also means first establishing the four key types of collaboration network and which one best represents your business and its many stakeholders:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
