Thanks to information technologies, space and time coincidence is no longer a requirement for working together:

· workspaces become "virtual spaces"
· information technologies become the basic working tools
· workers and collaborators become eWorkers

This new situation requires new means to organise work. Companies and professionals are required to adapt themselves to and master with ease different methods, procedures, tools, techniques, labour and human relations, etc., in order to overcome distance and make the most of these new opportunities.

Team managers and responsibles face new challenges on the following issues:

How can objectives be achieved when monitoring becomes more difficult?
How do people react when they work on a delocalized basis?
How can evaluation and monitoring tasks be performed on a remote basis?
How can virtual spaces be managed effectively?
How can information technologies be properly used?
How can team works be built and maintained effectively?
How can communication be organised in distance work?
How can final quality be secured?

VIRTUAL WORK's Training Plan is intended to supply answers to these questions. Our objective is to provide qualifications and practical knowledge for virtual work teams managers and responsibles so that they may solve efficently and effectively tasks concerning management, plannning, organisation, leadership, coordination and control in these virtual settings, where distance and information technologies are both a challenge and an opportunity.
