Create Effective Virtual Teams

We regret to inform you that there are currently no scheduled sessions for this course, so please let us know your preferred date and location and we will contact you soon.

Course Introduction

Virtual and dispersed teams are becoming a fact of modern-day working. The Economist Intelligence Unit estimate that 62% of people in the global workforce will be conducting work remotely as a major part of their job by 2020.

The major benefits to an organisation can include reduced office/asset/equipment costs, as well as reduced environmental impact by reducing the daily commute. Your talent pool is now truly global; and many younger workers see remote working as the norm.

However, despite its major advantages, creating and managing virtual teams requires a different mindset and understanding. Are you ready for this new way of working? Do you have the right skills, knowledge and ability to create an effective virtual team within your organisation?
