Organizational Support for Virtual Collaboration
Teams with members who operate with limited face to face interaction i.e. across cultural, organisational, geographical or time boundaries, face unique challenges in achieving their goals. How well is global team working promoted or undermined by the collaboration methodologies and technologies, practices, policies and leadership styles in the organization? To ensure that investment in team development leads to sustained results, a diagnostic has been developed which helps to identify the organisational barriers that hinder global teams from working as accountable interdependent units. Tools, techniques and support are then provided to remove these barriers and create the best context within which these teams can flourish.
