To support government teams quickly shifting to distributed/remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, CivicActions will host a free webinar – repeated daily the week of March 16 – to share best practices and answer questions from the government community at large.
The webinar is based on CivicActions’ 15 years of building a distributed work environment, as well as the expertise of CivicActions Senior Strategist John O’Duinn, author of “Distributed Teams: The Art and Practice of Working Together While Physically Apart.”
CivicActions has also created DistributedGov (distributedgov.org) to serve as a centralized resource for community and information related to government distributed/remote work.
The webinar, “Quickly Shifting to Distributed Teams in Government,” will repeat each day, Monday to Friday, March 16-20 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and are free to all government employees.
Topics to be covered:
- Operations
- Communications
- Security

Presenter:
John O’Duinn, author of “Distributed Teams: The Art and Practice of Working Together While Physically Apart,” is a frequent international speaker on the benefits and strategies for remote work, as well as provided workshops and mentorship to distributed teams around the world.
John is a senior technologist and entrepreneur who has served in the U.S. Digital Service in the Obama White House.
