Are Your Teams Effective?

Teams represent the new machines of business in the knowledge economy, whether in the form of traditional face-to-face teams or the more modern virtual teams, they are the simple unit of production.

Organizational workforces are becoming increasingly dispersed and schedules more flexible, resulting in more remote workers and virtual teams needing to achieve their goals.

• In the midst of such changes, how can organizations best leverage the skills and performance that great teams are able to offer?
• What are the unique challenges to working with remote colleagues and displaced teams, and what are the benefits?

Join this webcast to identify key barriers that exist in a world where 92% of survey respondents view teams as critical to organizational success, yet only 23% consider their own teams to be very effective.

Recognizing these obstacles to designing effective teams presents the opportunity to devise a successful solution to address them.

Key Webcast Objectives:

• Gain insight from an overview of the state of teams in today’s dispersed workforce.
• Discover the challenges and benefits of working on a virtual team versus a face-to-face team.
• Capitalize on three team-building strategies that the most effective teams utilize for optimum business success.

The subject matter experts in your organization are in demand. The more they know, the more they’re asked to share that knowledge. And the harder it is to do their “day job”.

Cutting-edge organizations are getting better at capturing that knowledge and turning it into on-demand libraries of material. And the best way to do that is with video and interactive online presentations.

In this area as in so many others, video content is poised to surpass traditional content in the next five years. In fact, says one of our guests in this webinar, “Video is the new Document.”

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Key trends that are leading to a new era of pervasive video, and the evolution of “Video as the new Document”
• How content is being shared in the enterprise and the role of video-enabled presentations
• How to quickly and easily gather rich video content from subject-matter experts
• How to display it in just-in-time learning libraries

You’ll also get an exclusive sneak peak at a breakthrough mobile app that will change forever how you gather and share knowledge from your subject matter experts.
