“How can I Big Room successfully?”

As we describe in our video Topic “Big Room” in our TVD/IPD Course, a Big Room is a State of Mind as well as a physical space for large and small meetings. It’s a very visual workplace. And it’s a “Collision Space” where valuable accidental conversations take place.

TYPES OF BIG ROOMS

Although we’ve established that a Big Room does not need to be a big space, teams do need to congregate. There are a few models that work:

  • Co-location: Big Room participants are physically located together in the Big Room, with no virtual attendees. This could be a permanent space onsite or in an office or a company HQ.

  • Virtual: It will come as no surprise that Big Rooms have frequently been located on Zoom over the last few years. Collaborative digital tools can support the virtual environment.

  • Hybrid: A combination of in-person and virtual attendance by select participants.
