When all is said and done, the benefits of virtual teams far outweigh the costs in terms of maximizing resources and ensuring the long-term viability of the global organization. There is a real and present need for virtual teams to think insightfully, and creatively, about complex issues. Organizations have changed in the past 20 years. One key component to that change is the advent of virtual teams and how complex success in global organizations has become. It is no longer enough for you to present a business case to your boss or lobby the Board of Directors for funding for a large project with no accountability to deliver – you must have a team that can drive significant business results. This requires the team to be insightful and innovative enough to look at possibilities from every angle, leveraging the expertise and excellence of every team member in order to explore and exploit every opportunity. Teams must learn how to tap the potential of many minds so that the sum of the whole is more intelligent than a single intellect. The collective intelligence of the team must be considered, above all else, “greater than” the intelligence of the individual. Virtual Success will provide you a proven methodology to make your virtual teams a success.
