Project: Implementing Virtual Teams
Your CEO has tasked your team to prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation on implementing virtual, multicultural, geographically distributed teams in your organization. This report will be presented to the board of directors, and your team needs to work together to produce the report quickly and efficiently. Your team’s presentation should span 12 to 15 slides (excluding introduction and reference slides), include a 25- to 30-minute narration. The notes for each slide must be included in the space below the slide to which the notes refer, with proper APA citations as appropriate (on the slide and in the notes). A reference list in APA format is required.
Your first task is to select an organization to work with, and you should choose from among the organizations you and your team members reported on for the organizational analysis. Once you’ve selected an organization, you can move on to researching and creating the presentation.
The presentation should research and make recommendations about the following:
team type
team principles and guidelines
team size
team composition
team roles
team leadership model
team management
assessments for managing team dynamics
managing culturally derived orientations and preferences
team training
technology solutions for virtual teams
advantages and challenges of working in virtual teams
cost benefit analysis of virtual teams vs. cross-site travel alternative
