Getting the best from virtual teams: Martin White
Venue: CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London, WC1E 7AE
Date: Wednesday, 7 November, 2012 - 09:30 - 16:30
Course Outline:
No matter what the size of the organisation, working in a virtual team
is now the way that discussions are held and decisions made. Often
members of these teams are external to the organisation, and may well be
in a different country and time zone.
Virtual teams are not a new way of working, and over the last three
decades a great deal of research and experience has led to the
establishment of a substantial amount of good practice in the management
of virtual teams. However it seems that few organisations offer staff
tuition in either how to participate in a virtual team, or in managing
such a team.
Among the subjects to be covered will be:
Understanding why and how virtual teams differ from co-located teams
Making good use of audio and video technologies
Preparing for virtual team meetings
The best structure for a virtual team meeting
How to address the common challenges of virtual teams
Evaluating team performance
Developing training courses for virtual teams and team members
The course will be a mixture of presentations and group work to enable
delegates to gain an insight into the benefits and challenges of virtual
teams
Who should attend:
Anyone who has to manage or participate in virtual team meetings and
wishes to get the best out of other team members during and between
meetings.
Course Presenter: Martin White
The course will be presented by Martin White, Managing Director,
Intranet Focus Ltd. He has been involved in managing virtual teams for
over thirty years, and regularly works with multi-national virtual teams
as a key element of his consulting projects.
