What is a VIRTUAL Team?
A Team of two or more individuals assigned to complete a task or series of tasks together in an environment which is not 100% face-to-face (real-time). They connect with each other over the telephone, through e-mail, computers, LANs, Internet, extranets, intranets, teleconferences, via fax, video conference and through the mails.
Personal message from Michael A. Podolinsky, your course leader:
"Virtual Teams are transforming the way we do business. To avoid them is to sign the death certificate of any organization. Embracing this change can propel your organization and its profitability into the next decade. This course is hard driving and fast paced but time is made during breaks and lunch for one-on-one discussions with myself and colleagues. Although some knowledge of the subject is helpful, even if you are not VT savvy, no one will be left behind! By the end of this one day workshop, you will possess what it takes to form and function in a virtual team."
