"Leading
Global Virtual Teams”
Speaker: Craig Baty - Group VP & Chief Research, Gartner
Buddy: Ravi Datar - Principal Analyst, Gartner
"Most multinational and pan-regional organisations have staff working
in offices remote from HQ. Of course, most multinationals have developed
effective means of managing workforces in their own country of origin,
but attempts to overlay these practices on other more remote workforces
without thorough research and planning will result in disaster. The first
challenge of managing non-local remote staff is that posed by sheer distance
from head office. Overlaid on this challenge are issues of language, culture,
religious practices and working rules. Assuming that HQ can develop appropriate
practices to handle these issues, the use of appropriate technology to
facilitate remote management raise yet another set of challenges. This
presentation will look at some of these issues in depth and provide advice
on how to lead virtual teams globally.
Client Issues: What is a Virtual Team? What are the Top 10 Rules
for
Effectively managing remote staff? What role does Technology play in
managing remote AP/J Staff?" |
