Ever wonder why some remote project teams thrive while others drown in chaos—even when using the same tools?
In this second and final installment of our series on remote project management, Business Breaks hosts John Byrne and Dante Healy dive deep into the real-world essentials of making distributed teams work. With the pandemic’s impact still reshaping the way we work, hybrid and remote teams have become the new norm—but technology alone won’t bridge the gaps.
John and Dante get practical, exposing the pitfalls of “tool overload,” inconsistent training, and misunderstood access privileges that can tank productivity. Through relatable stories and a dash of humor, they reveal the importance of unified toolsets, clear communication standards, and regular training to get everyone genuinely collaborating—rather than just navigating tech.
But remote success isn’t just about the digital setup. The hosts challenge listeners to rethink how they manage productivity and work-life balance in a world where the lines between home and office are easily blurred. Learn why focusing on outcomes over hours, setting realistic expectations, and encouraging deep work are critical—not just for delivery, but for preventing burnout.
Whether you’re fine-tuning infrastructure (think: reliable backup internet and power), wrestling with notification overload, or nurturing your team’s sense of connection, this episode is your actionable playbook. Discover how intentional leadership, consistent processes, and genuine care for your people turn remote obstacles into opportunities—and help remote and hybrid teams do more than just cope. They thrive.
Tune in and take away practical strategies to help your project teams stay sharp, connected, and truly productive—no matter where they’re working from.

EP72 Fireside chat on how to measure Change Management success?
In Part 2 of the Change Management series, Dante and John tackle the hard bit: measuring whether change has actually worked. Beyond the business case and ROI slides, they break down what success really means—what to look for, what often gets missed, and why traditional KPIs don't always tell the full story.
They explore the difference between actual outcomes and assumptions made in the planning phase, challenge the idea of return on investment as a useful success measure, and look at real-world signs that a change has embedded or failed.
Key Talking Points:
Why ROI is often guesswork in finance transformation projects
The gap between forecasted vs actual results, and how to adjust for change
Why staff morale and adoption rates matter more than spreadsheets
How to define success clearly from the start—but stay open to recalculating it
The value of feedback loops and behavioural change as indicators of impact
Using productivity gains and avoidance of future costs as valid measures
Why listening to users post-implementation is a better gauge than ticking boxes
