We have been dealing with virtual team management issues for many years. Traditional teams work together from one location, which benefits communication. Virtual team members work in different locations (dispersed team) or in different working schedules or time zones. In case of virtual teams, they work from different locations (dispersed teams) and/or have different shift work schedules or work in different time zones. Given the recent developments in communication technology (video conference and teleconference apps, the possibility of simultaniuos remote work on the same documents, online access to management systems), virtual teams are becoming more and more popular.
Virtual teams have their advantages, but also present some new challenges. |
The advantages are obvious.
The dictionary defines the adjective "virtual" as something "created in the human mind but possibly existing in reality or having the potential to exist." And this precisely is the biggest challenge for the manager: to make a virtual team of first-class experts work as efficiently as a traditional team working from one location. We're competent in our ability to use reliable methods in this area. Our competence is based on years of real experience: both personal and related to working with our clients. Our support comes in the form of workshops for executives and virtual team members and/or in the form of individual coaching sessions for the managers.
