Building Strong Virtual Teams

Course Overview and Objectives

Practical Strategies for Creating and Developing a Strong, Productive Virtual Team. In this 2-hour course, we will focus on three fundamental aspects of a strong, productive virtual team: 

• Virtual Coordination: Clearly defining, understanding and appreciating team member roles & responsibilities, and fully utilizing the tools at hand to get results.
  
• Virtual Collaboration: How do team members build effective working relationships and strengthen trust when they only interact virtually? It requires intentional effort and specific strategies to appreciate strengths, overcome differences and work well together as a cohesive team.
• Accountability: Maintaining accountability is difficult for teams no matter what the context. In a virtual environment it’s particularly difficult to calibrate expectations, address problems and celebrate success.
