Virtual Team Facilitation

Studies have shown that expert facilitation has significant benefits for virtual teams. It allows them to form and work with the guidance of someone who has been there before, and understands the issues. We provide virtual team facilitation, either face to face or remotely, at any time in a team's life: at its launch, when crises surface, or when that extra performance push is called for. Please contact us to discuss the power of expert, confidential and objective facilitation for your virtual teams.

Virtual Team Builder

VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDER is a structured interactive process for building virtual teams using behavioural contract principles. It also implements elements of virtual teaming good practice, and addresses the effects of remoteness on collaborative work and relationships. Research shows that thorough virtual team-building pay off in effective and sustained collaboration, and VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDER is valuable at any time in a team's life: at launch, during 'mid-life crisis', or when an extra performance push is called for.

As a facilitation service, we run VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDER for clients using face to face or remote methods. The objectivity and expert facilitation we bring often yields better results than using in-house resources. VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDER is of special value when virtual teams are being formed from different organisations, or people with different professional or national cultures.

Making Your Virtual Team a Success

This is a combination of education, facilitation, and coaching that focuses on a whole remote virtual team at a time. Typically we facilitate team launch and members' ongoing interaction, coach team leaders / managers, and teach everyone new remote virtual skills as necessary.

Virtual Audit

We run a confidential, anonymous questionnaire of a group or team to reveal their real attitudes, fears and abilities to work virtually. This gives team leaders, as well as HR managers, a full evaluative picture of the successes and obstacles that their people experience as a result of working virtually. It's a valuable precursor to any investment in education, development or technology.

Creating the Virtual Environment

A contributor to the failure of many virtual teams is an organisational environment which acts against cross-geography and cross-entity working. We consult for strategists and direction-setters to define the organisation design, process and tool environment that will promote and enable virtual teaming in their organisation.
