Step 9: Training and Technology Needs

http://www.medstarwashington.org/our-hospital/#q

After reading up on how to make decisions as a group, your next step will be to identify training opportunities. To identify those opportunities, complete the following tasks:

• Identify optimal information and communication technology (ICT) (team communication/collaborations) to facilitate communication, collaboration, and decision-making.
• Identify necessary training for virtual teams and consider the pros and cons of the CEO’s preference to conduct the team training online rather than with a preliminary face-to-face meeting.
• Include a cost-benefit analysis that helps the CEO understand the pros and cons of her preference for virtual teams. Refer to the Michel and Oliverio (2007) article on cost-benefit analysis you read when working on Project 2.

Step 10: Team Management

Finally, after completing all the previous steps, you should have some recommendations for team management, one of the most important elements of any work team.

• Identify and analyze the options for managing these geographically dispersed multinational and multicultural virtual teams.
• Prepare recommendations that will help the CEO make the best decision about how to do this.

Step 11: Other Advantages and Challenges

You’re nearly done with this project, but after surveying your results, you and your teammates agree that you have to address one last issue: cost, though important, shouldn’t be the only determining factor in the decision to implement virtual teams.

• Identify other advantages and challenges the organization is likely to confront when making this strategic change to virtual, cross-site, global teams.
