– What are the success factors when building or taking over a virtual team?
– What are the communication standards to be set?
– What tools ensure effective work & collaboration?
– How can team performance be developed in a virtual environment and how can it be maintained at a maximum level for company performance?
Our consultants can create event cards that reflect the particularities of the client’s industry, the specifics of the company and its strategic targets. This will help participants to:
– know, as a managers, the key success factors for building and developing virtual teams;
– experiment and reflect on the differences between local and virtual teams and what are the consequences of these differences for leaders;
– deepen (or learn) leadership skills for local teams, extrapolating these skills to virtual teams;
– learn and apply new leadership approaches specially created for virtual teams;
– deepen their communication and relationship building skills to create and maintain a positive atmosphere and performance in a remote team;
– acquire leadership & communication tools to help meet the different needs of team members;
– experience events similar to real life in environments with virtual teams;
– prepare individual action plans for working with a remote team in real life (or for a future remote team): everything they learn will be immediately applied in the area of responsibility of the participants and their current teams.
From the perspective of the collaboration we have with Evolutiv Consultants Network, we can say that they are defined by at least three characteristics: the genuine desire to come to the clients' support, to get involved and satisfy their requirements to the maximum. To these are added the professionalism and dedication with which the trainers work, the ability with which they connect and communicate the most diverse aspects of soft skills and management skills. - Andreea Ion, Policolor
This business simulation integrates a variety of topics. The participants will learn about the stages of team development, how the dynamics of team development work in virtual contexts, what is distributed leadership & how to apply this approach in remote teams. Therefore, as a participant, you will learn how to communicate better, what is the flow of information in “virtual teams” (the COAST structure) and you will have access to communication guides in virtual contexts (ideal virtual Kick-Off meetings, emails, feedback, coaching, etc.).
Moreover, you will find out what the sources of conflicts can be, what styles of conflict management exist (Kilmann model) and how they can be applied in virtual teams. Finally, the focus is also on the selection criteria of employees and how can employees be motivated to work in situations of temporal and spatial distance.
You get the individual profiles of the 4 members of your team; then you choose what steps you will take & communication tools to get to know your team better – but with budget and time constraints.
Find out how well each member of your team understands their role, how they feel about their team, and how they relate to other team members.
Talk to each member of your team and find out the information you were missing, then choose the steps you will take to increase their understanding of their role, team membership, and relationship with other team members. See their competence level at work and find out what they think in terms of job satisfaction.
Assign tasks to various team members, manage unexpected events (conflicts, daily delays in activities, etc.), communicate with team members, and strengthen the connection between them.
You choose between different candidates to fill in an additional position in your team – all candidates are different in terms of skills, personal characteristics and indicators to match the existing team.
Make sure you create an integration plan for the new team member.
Assign tasks to different team members and select measurement criteria to increase employee satisfaction & skill level. Manage unexpected events, communicate with team members, continue to integrate the new member and strengthen ties in your team.
