Beatriz Camps, Human Resources, Kingfisher plc (UK)Most large organisations are now spread across numerous locations and with matrix management structures increasingly prevalent, it is inevitable that the structure of teams is changing significantly. Many managers are now responsible for virtual teams distributed across geography and even across organisations. And these are sometimes short term project teams with members belonging to a number of different teams at the same time.
Managing a virtual team is considered to be one of the toughest tasks in today’s organisations and many of these teams are seen to fail. In addition to the usual challenges of managing a diverse group of individuals, the manager of a virtual team is faced with further challenges including different time zones, shifting team membership, managing at a distance, lack of time and the use of communication technology. Virtual team managers require support to acquire the specific knowledge and skills they need to enhance their traditional leadership competencies.
In response to the growing complexity of virtual teams within organisations, Communicaid has developed Managing Virtual Teams. This course aims to assist managers and HR professionals to develop the intercultural competence and communication skills required when Managing Virtual Teams. Upon completion of a Communicaid Managing Virtual Teams course, you will understand the key issues and motivators that drive your virtual team and gain the skills and tools to successful build, manage and work in a complex environment.
