Remote work has forced people to reevaluate their collaboration strategies, and while it can be challenging, adapting to a new environment is possible with the right approach. Children have an innate ability to adapt to new situations and collaborate effectively, which can be learned from by adults. One key strategy for successful collaboration in remote work environments is to establish clear rules, roles, order, and time, similar to how children play together. This includes setting up a virtual environment that signals collaboration, introducing rituals such as small talk or stretching exercises, and having a leader or moderator to keep people on track. Additionally, embracing flexibility and innovation by "plying the frame" of established structures can help foster dynamic collaboration. By revisiting childhood habits and adapting these strategies, adults can develop a new version of collaboration that is productive and effective in remote work environments.
