Introduction
We found that individuals were increasingly expected to work in ad hoc, project-based and frequently multi-functional teams.

Our programmes develop individual skills which will help these teams gel swiftly together and will be transferable to future teams that these individuals become part of.

Typical Objectives:

	Recognising that there are some different skills involved in making these teams work
	Overcoming barriers of distance, cultural differences and lack of time, whilst maintaining communication through technology
	Getting things done through others when you’re remote and have no line authority
	Accelerating the transfer of learning throughout dispersed teams
	Exploring how time pressure has an impact on group and leadership behavior

Sample Programme
As a result we have designed a number of practical exercises to give ‘virtual’ team opportunities to put their learning into operation.

Our simulations provide a luminous metaphor for the challenges these teams face at work. It helps them to realise the vital importance of clear communication and shared values across teams. A critical skill is the ability to imagine the impact that their actions and decisions have on others.

Outline

There is no set agenda for Virtual Team Development, as each team and situation is different. We will work with you to research, design and deliver the most appropriate programme for your team.

Activities to consider:

	Food 4 Thought
