How to Become a Distributed Company: A Step-By-Step Guide
I lead a company called TEN7 and up until the spring of 2017, we were all in on the idea that a company needed a physical space to function. In fact, I was so sold on the idea that my wife and I purchased commercial real estate in Downtown Minneapolis in 2011 just so that we were committed to making a physical space work for the company. Fast forward to 2019 and the office space is no more, TEN7 is a fully distributed company, and it's been two years since we decided to take the jump.
This session will review the process of becoming a distributed company from the point of view of someone who was fully committed to not being one, but whose point of view changed.
I'll go through:
how we approached the evolution (staggered number of days in and out of the office)
team requirements from a cultural perspective: mission, vision, values
what you'll need at home
tools we use to stay connected
actual in-person time that we have
effects on hiring staff
cons (there are cons!)
I'll provide the list of steps we went through to become truly distributed, and you'll be able to use that for yourself. YMMV.
