Do you find it challenging managing virtual teams?

- Most of our clients do. It is challenging managing, motivating and directing a group of people who are not physical together and maybe never have seen each other before. To make it even more challenging virtual teams often exist for a limited period of time because they are often tied to a specific project or temporary process.

The popularity of virtual teams is a function of the globalisation and they are necessary in order to keep down travel costs and increase flexibility. But how do we make sure that the saved costs and the increased flexibility are not diluted by all the disadvantages of having virtual teams? This is one of the questions we will find an answer to on Gugin’s interactive workshop in Nice in October.

After the workshop you will:

• - have a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges of having virtual teams
• - have adopted best practices on how to form, manage and measure virtual teams
• - have been presented for the necessary tools to deal with the cultural diversity in virtual teams
• - have will have ideas on how to create virtual teams that support the corporate culture
