What You Will Learn

- Describe top virtual communication techniques.
- Illustrate what a “good” virtual team looks like.

Description
Who would have called this a critical topic a few years ago: A pandemic-inspired discussion on how to manage virtual project management teams more effectively? Really? Yes! Difficult? Yes, but not impossible! It just requires focusing on some new techniques and honing your intuition. By the way, you are not alone. Virtual teams have become our new “normal.” They have magnified the communication challenges project managers face when trying to effectively drive a project forward.
This 1-hour training will examine the interplay between human factors, technology, and communication rigors. We will be covering global best practices in solving such problems and creating effective virtual teams. Of course, there will be the latest crisis guidelines for building high-performance teams and virtual “work groups.” Step-by-step discussions and “bleeding edge” techniques for creating successful business outcomes in a geographically dispersed work environment under tremendous performance pressures will be provided. So, be a pillar of leadership in a sea of change, remotely, and sign up today for our 1-hour training.
