Webcast:
The global economy driven by knowledge workers is increasingly reliant on virtual teams collaborating within and across organizations to gain or sustain competitive advantage. Best practices of virtual collaboration are continuously being defined and adapted as new technologies are developed enabling increasing efficiency. Yet, our understanding of virtual team dynamics is in its infancy. Differences in communication and culture styles and norms greatly impact the efficacy of virtual collaboration. Virtual teams form differently, influence differently and may require different workflows than on site teams while they are still held similarly accountable.
In this webcast you will hear from experts and practitioners about leading virtual collaboration and the virtual team dynamic. We will explore best and next practices in leading virtual teams across continents or across town. Our presenters will discuss how to leverage technology to better manage and facilitate virtual team collaboration.
