Five Steps to Increase Operational Efficiency Through True Collaboration

True collaboration shortens the learning curve, amps up the ability to innovate, and improves employee effectiveness. At Avitiva, we’ve found there are five straightforward tricks that help leaders to build collaborative teams:

1. Share Something
2. Ask a Question
3. Say Thank You
4. Turn On Your Camera
5. Laugh Together

In this workshop, we reveal the research that shows why these are effective AND demonstrate how they can be done efficiently with collaborative tools.

Schedule with us now to learn how to create effective organizational collaboration. It’s like a sports movie plotline: the coach believes it’s about winning until they understand it’s about building a team – that then goes on to win. We’ll show you how.

Harnessing a Digital Workforce

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”

Albert Einstein

Do you want to want to ensure you are maximizing your workforce regardless of where they are working? Read the intro for this workshop and schedule with us now.

Remote work and the distributed workforce has changed the nature of our corporate cultures and collaboration. Even for companies whose workforce is primarily in the office, the needs and methods to connect with vendors and customers require different strategies for engagement. When you add in use of generative AI and the need to align different generational values, the problem becomes that much more complex.

In this course, we address the cultural challenges and offer some proscriptive solutions that leaders and managers can use to create more effective and tight-knit work groups. By harnessing the power of personal creativity and story-telling, we enhance what the information workforce has to offer – our humanity. And as a meaningful starting point, to achieve buy-in and a mindset ready for training with digital tools within the M365 platform, then we offer digital tools within the M365 platform in order to provide connective tissue for implementation, measurement and ongoing work.

This 16 hour workshop uniquely combines leadership, communication, and technical training. That combination allows for a fully human view of the 2025 workforce potential including the technology at hand and maximizing workforce or employee retention.

AI For Leadership

Description:

The widespread release of generative AI in the past year has introduced a toolset capable of changing business as usual. But far more than rewriting emails and authoring presentations, AI can help catapult business leaders to the next level by helping them do more of what they do best – innovate, connect and communicate.

The cutting edge is starting to be defined by those who are using the full power of AI to get one, two and even five steps ahead of their competitors. The question is not whether or not to use AI but instead how far and how fast can you empower people to go so that no one else can catch up.

In this 1-day workshop, we provide an introduction to the AI landscape through demonstration of Microsoft Copilot. We start by showing executives how to use Copilot for their administrative tasks. Then we quickly move on to demonstrate the ways AI can assist with creativity, communication, project management, and collaboration. By harnessing the power of gen-AI, executives will be freed to  focus on their most valuable asset: the human resources essential to every successful enterprise their most valuable asset – their humanity.

Transforming IT from Service Provider to Value-Add Provider

Description:

The shift from on-premises to software as a service has brought about a revolutionary change for IT departments. Freed from having to monitor server logs and scheduling software updates, IT departments have the opportunity to shift to becoming value-add providers to their organizations.

This shift can deepen the relationship between IT and the lines of business it supports. These stronger relationships between IT and business units creates a more nimble response to LOB innovation and therefore more success for the business overall. This efficiency and relationship building helps companies of all size to thrive and reach maximum potential.

In this workshop we cover how to find opportunities within your own organization and leverage what other organizations have done.

Our focus is on the services that Microsoft 365 provides to business customers. While the topics are transferrable to other platforms, this course will be most beneficial to organizations currently using or looking to use M365.

Corporate Communications: Everything Is a Story

Description:

When pressed for an example of a great storyteller, most people will think of epic tales like 1,001 Arabian Nights or authors like Mark Twain. But most of our day-to-day interactions involve story. The sales pitch, the ask of a colleague to help on a project, and even the response to someone who asks why you do what you do. When we realize that, the most important storyteller in our lives is ourselves.

The power of sharing and connecting results in growth, strengthening relationships on every level – both internal and external. When we building trust we plant the seeds for long-term loyalty in the process.

This workshop will boost that story-telling capability by reviewing the fundamentals of story, relaying what research has taught us about story, and covering the role that integrity and listening play in story. We also provide structure and prompts to help facilitate the creative process.

From the stories we learned as kids to the ones we told just today, there is a key call and response in story-telling.  Sign-up your key storytellers (everyone) and unlock this super power within your organization.
