What Makes Global Teams Work?  

Team diversity is a competitive advantage, but global teams have unique challenges, such as fragmented effort by isolated team members who are likely to confuse meanings, and the agreed focus and tasks of the team. On the upside, high-value global teams use information together to innovate, learn and execute business strategy for a global enterprise and to do business between companies.   

This webcast addresses three essential characteristics of productive global teams—engagement, cohesion, and goal clarity, and the underlying competencies of global collaboration. You’ll leave with insights to critical processes and performance areas to help your global teams work effectively.  

Key takeaways:

• A blueprint to construct solid performing global teams
• Best practices for building virtual relationships
• How culture and country affect ways we interact, manage and think
• Managing the tension between task and relationship, individual and group identity, explicit vs. implicit communication, and autonomy
