The role of the alumni group is to be a community of practice, i.e. to provide safe and professional space for like-minded professionals united by the commonality of purpose and values:
- To identify problem areas of virtual team functioning
- Bring our experiences and expertise to work together on possible solutions
- To test possible solutions and learn from that
- To learn from each other’s experience of how to work effectively in a virtual team
- To distil examples of good practice (i.e., something that is proven to be an effective solution and can be applied successfully in a variety of settings)
- To share such examples with wider community contributing to the creation of culture of effective virtual working.
- To become a virtual social space for members to meet and interact in the informal and collegial way
