Overview
In today’s rapidly changing business environment, managers and
employees alike are increasingly challenged to find new ways to get
things done – better, faster, and cheaper. More and more companies
today are embracing the concept of the virtual team work environment to
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their people who often
work remotely, whether from across town or on the other side of the
world.
Using technology effectively is critical to the success of virtual
teams. Knowing why, when and how to employ the right tools, at the
right time, for the right need, and how the virtual team environment
impacts your business processes makes all the difference. This course
will give you a vendor and product neutral perspective of what it means
to work in a virtual environment and provide real-world experience and
best practices from both a management and technology perspective.
