Where in the world is my team?

Challenges that our client teams face:

    • Lack of control of dispersed members
    • Reduced travel budgets
    • Tight time-lines
    • Cultural and language differences
 

 

Client case: An international firm with offices in Europe, Asia and North America. Staff works both on daily business and ongoing projects across three different continents.

In our company we did try to capture the opportunities that new technologies gave us. Somehow it just got very chaotic and stressful. Before Radical Inclusion helped us, we had not realized that our tools might have been modern, but our processes were just the same as they were before Internet. We used e-mail in the same manner that we sent letters 60 years ago when the company was started.

Radical Inclusion analyzed collaboration patterns and recommended updating work processes to take better use of technologies. Human Resource department put together front runner team that Radical Inclusion coached. Rumors about the test team spread and soon there were three more project teams using the new work processes. Best practices were published widely and people coached each other in the new skills. In less than a year the entire company had adopted new collaborative behaviors and was using more effective work processes.

   Radical Inclusion distributed team solutions:

  • Design of collaboration infrastructures for dispersed teams
  • Translation of face-to-face processes to virtual processes
  • Training and coaching of team leaders and team members in effective virtual collaboration patterns
  • Facilitation of blended meetings
  • Design of a virtual collaboration strategy and the related work processes
  • Coaching teams in mastering cultural challenges
