Last week, I was researching the pros and cons of today’s collaborative (open-space) work environment. I am preparing for a speech that I will give at our 23rd Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence: The Revolutionary Assistant later this year. Fosters collaboration.

One of my favorite aspects of attending a professional development conference is the opportunity to connect with other administrative professionals to share processes, tips, best practices and learn how they simplify daily tasks with technology. A basic account is free for up to three polls per event.

Some conversations still take place in person…but many others happen via email, in virtual meetings, or within collaboration tools like Slack and Teams. We knew if meetings were taking place because we saw them happening in physical conference rooms. It’s easier than ever before to lose sight of what’s happening.

The process for ordering office supplies and setting up the conference room for meetings was different. If you don’t have procedures in place, one approach to onboarding involves having the new hire document the procedures as they learn.

Achieving excellence as an administrative professional is no different. Beyond that, in person conversations are the right place for off -the-record conversation, and provide the opportunity for stimulating real-time debate and collaboration. Nonetheless, they outline a sure path to fulfilling your career potential.

I attended the Assist Conference earlier this year. There was less sharing of information and limited collaboration. The global tribe of administrative professionals is largely female at 98%. CPD – Active learning in relation to both hard and soft skills. I’m curious to know how the original Job Spec evolved.
