Performing Successfully in Virtual Global Environments

Virtuality has arrived in our professional realities. The winners of tomorrow will be companies that proactively drive the performance of their virtual co-operations (virtual leadership, remote project management, networking, etc.).

After years of research the trainer and consultants Line Jehle, Marcus Hildebrandt and Stefan Meister have developed a unique assessment tool to support companies in performing successfully in virtual global environments. The tool is specifically dedicated to senior trainers and consultants who want to enlarge their service portfolio with an approach that helps to design effective interventions for global teams.

Due to the globalization efforts of our customers and the increasing usage of new communication technologies customer demands towards us are getting more and more complex: Not only do we have to deal with communication, cooperation and leadership in intercultural contexts, but also have to cover questions concerning virtual communication e.g. critical e-mail communication, netiquette, virtual meetings using web-based internet platforms plus time zone management. On top of that we are challenged by aspects of virtual leadership: remote project management and networking, usage of the right media for the right purpose in context of employee management, authenticity in online communication.

About Virtual Performance Assessment (VPA®)

Linking project management, organizational and cultural issues with the world of communication technology, the Virtual Performance Assessment (VPA) is the most complete assessment tool to lay the basis for high performing virtual teams, groups, and networks.

Based on years of research and experience consulting teams in virtual collaborations, tested numerous times in a variety of conditions, it assesses performance in 5 categories and 20 dimensions.

It is a completely web-based assessment tool: from purchasing licenses online, to starting an online survey, right to creating pdf-based reports, everything can be done on a 24/7 basis.

The results of a VPA process enable consultants to design fine-tuned interventions and guide team leaders, members, and even whole organizations to areas of potential virtual performance improvement. The tool and the platform that hosts it are developed by intercultures, but once licensed, consultants have complete control from an individualized dashboard and are autonomous in the use of their assessments.
