What is Virtual Team Building?
Virtual team building is facilitated business team building delivered to team members at various locations via a virtual platform.
The key success factors for virtual team building are the same as any other team building:
- Context setting through an executive briefing and facilitator briefing
- Simulation or exercise or shared experience
- Debriefing
- Business application exercises
Team building is only as effective as the context setting before the simulation or shared experience and the debriefing and business application exercises that follow it.
