Virtual Team Navigator
Virtual teams make companies faster, flexible and more responsive. They increase an organisation’s scope and deliver efficiencies. Above all they give business a competitive advantage. With virtual teams being so vital in today’s business environment, how can you ensure your team is performing to the best of its ability?
Virtual Team Navigator™ is a powerful online resource that continually assesses the strength and challenges faced by virtual teams and goes on to help managers and team facilitators quickly identifying opportunities to increase performance. Further details are provided below, or alternatively visit www.virtualteamnavigator.com to find out more about its key benefits and to request a demonstration.
Who can benefit?
Virtual team leaders and members seeking to optimise their teams quickly and effectively.
How does it help the user?
The team develops a high level of awareness about how well it is functioning. This allows the team to focus its attention on areas that will provide the best return on time and energy invested. The anonymity of scores, comments, suggestions, and priorities allows for a high level of candor which, in turn, enables fact-based team performance decisions to be made, rather than assumption-based decisions.
How long does it take to complete?
Approximately 30 minutes to complete the questionnaire. The length of time devoted to improvement strategies is at the discretion of the team leader.
How does it work?
Data gathering:
The team leader and team members complete an online questionnaire. Scores are transmitted to TMA World for processing and report generation.
Interactivity:
Team Results Dashboard: An online feedback report presents the numeric and written data in seven key areas: People, Trust, Purpose, Roles and Responsibilities, Communications, Operations, and Technology. Each area is divided into smaller categories to enable highly focused targeting on critical stress points.
Team Resources: A database of 'C.A.R.E.' (Consequence, Advice, Results, and useful Exercises) teaching resources is included to support the development of virtual team skills.
Team Action Plan: Enables the user to incorporate the team’s results into a working plan with agreed actions, assigned roles and timelines for implementation.
Team Benchmark: Benchmarking allows teams to assess their performance in relation to other teams in their department or organisation.
Team Tracker: Teams can assess their performance over time using detailed analysis.
Feedback Options:
Discussion of the Virtual Team Navigator feedback report's implications and related action planning can by led by the team leader or alternatively by a TMA facilitator via teleconference, videoconference, or virtual classroom technology. The Virtual Team Navigator is also used as an integral part of TMA World's classroom teaming solutions.
