  • Useful FAQs to pre-seed a Q&A section for company all hands
  • Links to document templates that can be used for company all-hands, town hall, and investor updates
  • Software (with proven traction with clients) typically used for collecting information company wide to organize an all-hands for a remote company.

  • Hence, we have pivoted the research to look for other helpful information relevant to the project goals. This is reflected in our findings and in the scoping options below.
  • However, data availability regarding links to all-hand document templates and software typically used for collecting information is adequate in the public domain.

Summary

  • We focused the initial research hour on trying to find the required data points about the playbooks used by remote organizations to organize their all-hands presentations.
  • Initial research revealed that information regarding this topic is very low in the public domain.
  •  Information available in the public domain confirms that collecting questionnaires before an all-hands meeting and Q&A sessions are very vital parts of an all-hands virtual meeting. However, we were unable to find any source with a pre-compiled FAQs to pre-seed a Q&A section or examples of questionnaires used by companies to collect information.
