Leading Virtual Teams
 
2 day Course
Presenter: Bruce Thomson
Many organisations are switching to virtual or remote working as part of a deliberate strategy to cut costs and focus on customer based activities. With it brings a greater employee responsibility, empowerment and personal development. Simply connecting people via technology does not guarantee that they will be able to communicate, collaborate or co-ordinate their work. Developing agile teams takes not only technical know-how, but the ability to build strong relationships and essential working practices at a distance. Virtual team leaders and members need skills not only in managing information, but in managing relationships, collaborative tools and team protocols. The purpose of this course is to improve the effectiveness of collaboration between virtual team leaders and members.


Topics include:

The programme is highly interactive and involves the sharing of your own experiences combined with practical solutions and other exercises.  Pre-course preparation is required, so we are able to analyse your behavioural profile in your work environment and how this relates to your interaction with your virtual teams.


On completion of this course participants will have the knowledge to:

  • Build and lead successful virtual or remote teams to maintain success in the workplace
  • Manage the collaborative elements that work best for you and your team
  • Adapt your management style to meet the demands of team leadership
  • Build a team identity and sense of purpose
  • Better understand the key competencies needed for leading virtual teams
