Managing Global/Virtual Teams:
Reducing global/virtual team "productivity leakage"
 

Seats are Limited!

You can minimize these common virtual team problems:
  1. The need to repeat tasks due to untested assumptions associated with electronic communication.

  2. Having to repeatedly "re-communicate" key information because important information and criteria are undisclosed due to cultural and time zone differences.

  3. Alienating key international stakeholders due to inattention to their cultural concerns.

  4. Subtle sabotage by those left out of the communication process.

  5. Recommendations and decisions that are dead on arrival because they addressed only operational considerations, not key cultural norms, relationships, local politics, etc.

How You Will Benefit:
During this fast-paced, interactive webinar, you will develop a personal application plan to enable you to:
  • Calculate the actual cost of miscommunication on your virtual project teams, and take immediate steps to deal with it

  • Assess team complexity to determine the key points of interference

  • Accelerate the communication process across borders and time zones

  • Effectively understand and manage cultural differences

  • Ensure global team effectiveness with the use of "hand-off rules" to prevent important items from falling through the cracks

  • Identify and apply key virtual team leadership techniques

Key Take Aways:

You will have the opportunity to develop an individual application plan that addresses your specific virtual team needs and priorities. You will understand why virtual teams get in trouble, and what you can do about it.

Why Managing Global/Virtual Teams?

As globalization explodes, and technology becomes more complex, global competence becomes a major requirement for successful organization performance.  Technical expertise is no longer enough. The ability to perform and communicate clearly, effectively and quickly in a global/virtual environment is now a core competency in organizations that do business internationally.  In such an environment, the ability to operate effectively across organization, cultural and international boundaries will differentiate the most effective professionals from the rest.
