Remote and Virtual Team Training Program that Works

“Each customized remote and virtual team training program is preceded by an assessment of the participants. The course is then designed to fit the specific parameters and needs of the group. The highly interactive delivery is provided by recognized experts in their fields.

On the spot coaching is provided during the program and each participant receives individual follow-up after the course. Courses can be delivered in-person or virtually. Given the nature of Cisco’s business and the way we operate, these virtual workshops are a must for anyone who joins our company.

The work is eye opening. Great content and fantastic delivery.”

Description
Teams that work together at the same location face challenges in their day-to-day interactions. A team with virtual or remote members makes for an even tougher situation.

Time zones, lack of face-to-face interaction, conflicting priorities, travel budget restrictions, and cultural differences all impede effectiveness. Team members complain of isolation, e-mail going into a black hole, headquarters vs. non-headquarters tension, and recurrent miscommunication, which results in decreased productivity and missed deadlines.

This three-hour to one-day customized virtual teams workshop develops the skills and knowledge needed for building successful virtual teams.

Topics
How to:

Communicate critical information clearly
Use technology to improve efficiency
Avoid typical pitfalls of remote and virtual teams
Build trust on the telephone and over videoconferencing
Handle global and remote challenges
Avoid cultural misunderstandings or offending others
Accomplish time-driven goals at a distance

Upon completion of this customized virtual team training program, participants will be able to:

Increase the success of the team
Understand the impact of culture on a global team
Define specific roles and assumptions of team members
Use effective communication techniques
Build rapport and a sense of group purpose
Be alert to unspoken issues

Target Audience
Individuals who work on virtual, remote, or global teams that want to succeed.

I had been working with LSA for many years with my prior company. Currently, I’m with a company who hadn’t done much basic management skills training. After identifying and presenting a program recently, our managers are excited and talking in the halls about the great experience. LSA saves us time in delivering the right training for our needs.

A key to performance improvement is strongly linked to cultivating the proper type of motivation. Since the performance management training, I have been much more focused on identifying and discussing how our actions in Engineering create value to IGT’s success. So far, the feedback has been positive. The group appears to be more accountable for their actions, and victim loop reactions are less frequent. The value proposition for me and those groups we work with is better teamwork, higher spirits, and a better outlook for things to come in the future (renewed enthusiasm).

Our company engaged LSA to do a specialized “train the trainer” program, and the consultant’s performance outdid our exceptionally high standards for such a program.

Our facilitators continue to comment on the success of the program. Thanks also for the follow-up.
