Virtual Teams

How to Ensure High Involvement and Peak Performance

Training and consulting services for leaders, facilitators and team members

In today’s “wired” world, long-distance collaboration is more critical than ever.  Learn how to:

• Make teamwork work across distances
• Identify nimble, boundary-crossing tactics that make your virtual team a strategic advantage
• Engage the team in setting expectations by focusing on both behaviors and performance results
• Build information sharing (knowledge management initiatives) into the organization’s strategic plan and expect predictable, substantial and timely responses from each team member
• Avoid having team effectiveness completely dependent on technology
• Place the responsibility for effective virtual teams on the only place that matters… directly upon the team
• Recognize ‘virtual team killers’ like false consensus, unresolved conflict, lack of accountability, and technology adoration
• Develop techniques and utilize tools that allow a team to see its tasks, deliverables, meetings, decisions, and milestones in relation to who needs to be involved
• Coach and mentor from afar so you ensure the professional development of team members
• Foster the behaviors of high-performing virtual team effectiveness
