Virtual Teambonding

A vacation free from e-mail, cell phones, beepers and voice mail may sound like a dream come true. But imagine a workday without them – yikes! Whether we like it or not, the business world has moved way beyond pink message pads and weekly meetings. Welcome to the virtual world, where business is conducted via phone and computer and PDA. A big part of this world? The Virtual Team. We define this as any group that works together to accomplish goals without close physical proximity. Or, for that matter, any team whose main means of communication are electronic.

Virtual Teambonding simulates a day in the life of a virtual team. From conference call meetings to e-mail agendas, your team must work together, though physically apart, to reach a common goal. Under the guidance of TeamBonding facilitators, teams race against the clock, sharing ideas and information electronically, in order to meet deadlines. As with any real-life Virtual Team, your teams will face financial and time limitations.

We offer several distinct variations on the virtual theme. These fun simulations range from toxic spill cleanup to building different parts of a bridge without being able to see the parts other teams are creating. Give us an idea of what you want to accomplish, and we’ll offer up a suggestion for the best approach to meet your goals. Whether it’s production deadlines, marketing plans or budget reviews, this real-time simulation helps your team develop new and innovative ways to increase productivity and profitability.

Note: many other TeamBonding team building activities can also be customized as virtual activities. Ask us about details.
