“Developing a common culture in distant management, improving the performance of teamwork”

Corporate organizations have changed tremendously over the past few years. One of the main changes is in the way teams are set up. In the past, teams were developed by putting people together, letting them spend time getting to know each other before they were asked to complete assignments and achieve common goals. Nowadays, we tend to have networks of people producing results, across borders, across functions. Now more than ever, “management” is required to lead this group of people to accomplish organizational goals… the basis of management remains the same yet it requires the willingness to reinvent in order to optimize work from a distance with a remote team.

With this in mind, here are some of the key questions:

• Distant management, remote workers: is this really new?

• How do we use the variety of communication tools to establish a relationship with remote workers and create a sense of cohesion even with the distance?

• How can we develop trust and team spirit as the foundation of establishing a collaborative way of working across the distance?

• How do we establish common references, clarity of vision and work processes beyond the geographical, cultural, functional borders?

ereDistant management: how to establish

teamwork with remote workers?

This 2 day program is designed for top managers in

order to highlight the main issues experienced in

distant management and identify the key success

factors of efficient distant teams including:

• Identifying the main differences of distant management

vs. co-located management,

• Emphasizing a focus on trust and communication

as key enablers for improving collaboration and

efficiency,

• Reinventing the manager role in a distant environment.

• Developing an intentional use of Information and

Communication Tools (ICT) to boost, instead of weigh

down, your distant teams.

Based on both an experiential and an active learning

approach, this training is combining lectures and

exercises including the use of role plays. Participants

will emerge with skills that they can immediately

apply, as well as tools and action plans that have

a powerful impact on the ability of a team to work

distantly with efficiency.

Goals

• Understand how distance (geographical, cultural,

social…) impacts individuals, teams, work processes

and management.

• Understand the main enablers, the related practices

and tools to cope with them and the intercultural

influence.

• Try out some practices and tools pertinent to the

features of your team.

• Develop the related action plan by establishing the

priorities and determining the practices and tools to

be used.

• Implement some new tools and practices in your

functional or hierarchical teams.

• Reflect on your own management style.

• Share actual best practices and tools as well as co-

produce new practices and tools

Optional support:

1. Distance individual coaching support

• One on one coaching to support implementation of

a new practice, use of a new tool (e.g. team charter,

e-mail protocol…).

• Personal development (e.g. how to address key issues).

2. Group coaching session

• Integration and application

• Focus may include follow up on the action plan and/

or issues selected by the group and development of

guidelines and establishment of best practices.
