Course Overview
Top
Project teams no longer necessarily work at a fixed location or at a certain organisation, and are now often virtual instead. Virtual teams may be formed on a temporary or permanent basis and the members may be located anywhere in the world. Working in virtual teams results in significant challenges with regard to management and communication skills. It requires skills that managers lack experience in. This two-day workshop teaches people managers and project managers, in all levels of the organisation, how virtual teams can work effectively.
