Virtual Teams

A Virtual Team is a group of individuals from different locations that bring together their unique competencies to form a team that can meet an organisational need. It is likely that you are already a member of at least one Virtual Team. The problem is that many such teams do not recognise their existence or do not understand the different team dynamics that exist when people are not co-located. Such teams are much more difficult to keep together and focused on the task in hand. Stakeholder management issues are often ignored, as is the need for alignment to the business issue prompting the formation of the team.

Enquiries
For reasons such as these, the use of Virtual Teams is misunderstood and often discouraged and may have met with a poor success rate to date. Despite this, it is clear that the modern organisation needs to have more points of contact both horizontally and vertically within itself and with external suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. What is needed is greater understanding of how Virtual Teams work and how they can be effective as an instrument that will add flexibility and responsiveness to a business.
