Project 4: Implementing Virtual Teams

Step 9: Identify Training and Technology Needs

After reading up on how to make decisions as a group, your next step will be to identify training opportunities. To identify those opportunities, complete the following tasks:

· Identify optimal information and communication technology (ICT) (team communication) to facilitate communication, collaboration, and decision making.

· Identify necessary  training for virtual teams and consider the pros and cons of the CEO's preference to conduct the team training online rather than with a preliminary face-to-face meeting.

· Include a cost-benefit analysis that helps the CEO understand the pros and cons of her preference for virtual teams. Refer to the Michel and Oliverio (2007) article in  cost-benefit analysis.

Next, continue Step 10, where you will prepare recommendations for team management.
