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.
