1. Global Virtual Teams (GVT) are a
growing trend; research suggests
they’re not performing well.
2. Yet our research discovered a lack
of tools that help lead and manage
GVT.
3. So, we created a set of tools and
assessments to help leaders and
members of GVT to be more
efficient and more effective.

Two Great Truths:
1. The greater the spans of time,
distance and culture, the more
complex it is for team members to
work effectively together.
2. The more that team members must
rely on one another to achieve
results, the greater the need for trust
and alignment behind team purpose.
