Event Description/Details

Rick Brenner
In many organizations, virtual teams are now officially the way of things. Everything about such projects or
operations is more difficult than face-to-face teams, because the variety of situations we face is so much greater.
To manage these teams effectively, we must understand how and why they are different, and we must use new
tools to deal with those differences. Fortunately, much of what we have to do differently is relatively cheap and
requires little organizational support. In this presentation, Rick Brenner provides a guided tour of these simple
yet powerful approaches to managing virtual teams for real results
