WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHT: Creating Conditions for Effective Global Teaming

There are many reasons why companies form global teams to work internationally and interdependently towards a common goal.  Global teams can be created to develop global strategies, or to work locally to execute these strategies, or both.  Multinational corporations often create global research and development teams to benefit from site-specific scientific expertise that is not available in one location, but is spread around the world.  Still, other companies create global teams in specific functional areas, like sales and marketing, and then have representatives of that function from around the world collaborate in teams.  This enables the organization to benefit from a diversity of perspectives and services that can match or fulfill the needs of a global client, wherever that client might be located.  No matter what the reason for the formation of a global team or what form the team takes, leaders and team members must address the complexity of global teamwork by architecting new ways of collaborating. These factors must be considered and managed in designing and forming global teams to perform successfully.  Stakeholders, team leaders and team members can actively participate in creating conditions prior to the start-up of a team that can provide and enhance the likelihood that the team will achieve its objective. view more workshops.
