Managing People in Virtual Teams (MPiViT)

Background/Purpose

This Program is a new 2015 addition to the Learning & Development Portfolio. It meets needs outlined in the GN4 Strategy 2014-2020 to develop human capital through ‘providing training in the management of geographically distributed teams’ and ‘sharing best practice amongst partners’, in relation to managing people, running effective team meetings, managing performance, coaching and motivation.

Program Aim

To enhance the skills and knowledge of AL’s and TL’s in order to strengthen the communication and project management within our teams, leading to greater levels of efficiency, effectiveness and motivation. It also aims to build even stronger relationships across the community and encourage a coaching culture and the sharing of best practices in relation to managing people, running effective team meetings, managing performance, coaching and motivation.

Delivery

Four Groups of 6 people, follow a structured program, comprising 4 events, which extends over 16 weeks.

In between each event you apply your learnings back into your routine work and there is an optional 360’ Questionnaire about how Virtual Meetings are perceived in your team/group.
