Tips for Managing Multi-cultural, Multi-site Teams

M. Katherine (Kit) Brown, Principal, Comgenesis, LLC

For as long as two beings have worked together toward a common goal, teams have existed. What has changed is the ease with which teams can communicate across space, time, and organizations. In the following article, Kit Brown discusses the challenges of being a member of a virtual global team, along with tips for team building and web tools that you can use. The bottom line? Communicate, collaborate, coordinate and communicate – and then do it all over again every single day!!

You can meet Brown personally when she presents Creating a More Global Company by Internationalizing Your Organization on November 15 during the LISA Forum Europe.

Editor’s Note: The following article is based on an upcoming book, Managing Virtual Teams Using Wikis, Blogs, and Other Collaboration Technologies, which Brown is coauthoring with Char James-Tanny and Brenda Huettner.
