Virtual teaming is a complex blend of team, technology, and culture. At its core is the functional team unit, with all of the challenges of a traditional face-to-face environment. This includes: clarity of purpose, goals, roles and responsibilities, communication, conflict management, participative leadership, and most of all, trust. In a virtual environment, these challenges are compounded by distance, technology, and even organizational culture. All too often we make the fatal assumption that technology can overcome the interpersonal challenges of a team environment.
This program focuses on tools and techniques for developing effective virtual teams. This involves a critical balance between team, technology, and culture. Ultimately, this translates to maximizing your resources and using the right tools for the right job. Using industry research to target our most common obstacles, and hands-on involvement to develop critical skills, both teams and individuals walk away with functional tools for managing virtual success.
