Col.lab.o.ra.tiv.i.ty, n. 1. the ability to collaborate in virtual work. 2. where interpersonal skills and personal communications technologies meet to serve individuals and virtual teams. 3. your training and support partner in the skills of Collaborativity.

Virtual work. Virtual teams. The holy grail of today’s business. If only!

The reality is total frustration. Great team leaders become ineffective managers. Good employees struggle to stay on track. Relationships are strained. Trust flies out the window.

Why is virtual work so hard?

Working in virtual space means working blind - without the benefit of visual inputs from body language so important in face-to-face communication. Virtual work demands exceptional listening and speaking skills. Effective virtual relationships require abilities to be engaging and remain engaged.

That is where we come in. Our expertise is in training and skill development for the interpersonal component of virtual work.
