Virtual Collaboration
From small multinational teams to big international projects, if the collaboration is all virtual you will face many challenges that result from limitations in communication, transparency and organisation.
Different time zones and languages are the best-known hurdles in virtual collaboration. But there are many, many more due to cultural differences in the way team members from different countries communicate, solve problems, fulfil tasks or respond to a certain management style. To successfully lead any virtual collaboration, you will have to guide your culturally mixed team to overcome these hurdles and to work together effectively and harmoniously.
