Course Overview
The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through virtual team management. People decide what this aspect of people management and development really means by watching who gets promoted. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the practice within people management and development before they become incidents. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in virtual team management that were visible long before the incident. The programme suits teams tackling this area of people management and development together as readily as individuals attending alone. Improvement in this part of people management and development stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme takes participants through virtual team management end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this aspect of people management and development hard in practice. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of people management and development that each participant writes for their own organisation.
