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.
