About
This Webinar
Project management teams are becoming increasingly diverse as technology continues to advance. The co-located team is being superseded by virtual teams that span time zones, borders and continents. Today’s project manager must be prepared to manage in an environment where team members may not actually meet in person during the project life cycle but may be required to work together very closely to produce project deliverables. The virtual project team presents unique challenges to the project manager and team members that require new skills and techniques to establish and maintain a high performance. Language, customs, business practices, social and political differences must be managed effectively and sensitively through strong leadership and cultural intelligence.
