If you work in a large organization, then chances are better than good that you work on at least one ‘virtual team,’ possibly more. If you’re like most people, you find this ‘difficult,’ if not almost impossible from time to time.

The obstacles to performance are many; they include time zone differences, matrix management, the blurring of the work/life boundary, and cultural differences that are totally hidden until you’re ensnared in some conflict that no one really understands.

Welcome to the modern world!

In the past, a ‘meeting’ was something personal. We could see the people we worked with – we knew the people we worked with – we might even have a personal relationship with the people we worked with. Today, we work with complete strangers. People we’ll never meet. People we have nothing in common with. Yet? We expect virtual Teams to operate as effectively as ‘real’ teams.

This presentation builds on some recent work with a multinational organization. It will summarize the issues surrounding virtual teams, paying specific attention to the unexpected issues. It will also offer some possible solutions to the discovered problems.

Peter will summarize the observations/findings by relating the nature of Virtual Teams to Dr. David Rock’s SCARF model.

Presenter:  Peter De Jager

Peter’s Kindle publications include A Pocket Full Of Change about Organizational Change,  So? You’re a Manager… Now What?, and Truth Picks Vol I. A Truth Pick is a short, pointed commentary on a popular quote – For Peter these “Truth Picks” was a personal morning meditation he was publishing – which  blossomed until several thousand people were reading them on a daily basis.

Peters presentations and workshops are highly interactive, fun, irreverent to mistaken ideas and most distinctively – provocative. He entices the audience, by demonstrating conflicts between their stated beliefs and behaviors, to think differently about what they thought they knew.
