This blogpost is about our practice firm eXpand during pandamic times. As we all know the current situation forced us after a couple weeks to change everything to online learning. There are a couple pros and cons that come with dealing with this special and new situation. First of all we have to admit that this situation is new to us but not new to the pratice firm eXpand. This special circumstances were already present in the last semester so therefore everything needed was already set up. All the handbooks involved the information about how to access accounts and so on from home and also the online meeting were nothing new to the management and the platforms used worked just fine.
Of course there are a couple of things that are challenging and different in these times. The first thing that comes to mind is that the departments can not access the office all together at once. Online Meeting are a good alternative but can never replace a meeting in person like we had in the first two weeks of the semester. At that point you have to admit that the Management found a great alternative to the seminar in Schieleiten and we spend a wonderfull day in the Leechwald.
Last but not least you can say that this pandamic forces us to think different about our way of learing participating and presenting. Therefore it might be a good option to prepare us for digitalization of our future work environment.
