Building Your Virtual Team

Over the years, workplaces have been experimenting with different ways to work remotely at home and on the road. Companies attempt to achieve the same level of individual and team productivity as in the office.

As various virtual tools and platforms have been developed and utilized, it became apparent that simply choosing the right platform did not guarantee a successful outcome for virtual teams, just as getting a group of people together for a meeting does not necessarily guarantee a successful meeting.

Without a template or proven roadmap to follow, many companies struggled to measure effectiveness, grasp proper supervisory methods, and determine how to establish a virtual environment where individuals in different geographic locations could still function productively individually and as a team.

Building Your Virtual Team is a customized workshop that will give you and your remote team a roadmap for how to move forward while helping organize yourselves for increased efficiency - with fewer potential conflicts.

This workshop focuses on:

• Methodologies that the group can use in future meetings, including but not limited to Team Charters, Tools to Assess Buy-In, Sharing of Best Practices, and How to Address Conflict.
• Helping to create team S.M.A.R.T. goals, which are championed by the group.
• Creation of a Scope and Objective Statement to make sure that everyone is on the same page.
• Individual reflection on participants' values, and exploration of how a mutual understanding of these values can make the difference between triggering conflict, or managing tasks as a team effectively.

Our team of training professionals, who have collectively worked with remote groups in over 75 countries, will customize your workshop to meet your specific goals and outcomes.
We will conduct an assessment before your program to ensure the training meets the specific needs of your group, whether they are just starting to navigate the virtual team environment, or have already been using various virtual tools and would like next-level guidance.

We also offer a 60-Minute version of this program called We're All Virtual: Now What?
