And with the world marketplace more accessible than ever, businesses big and small can take advantage of operating 24 hours a day across every region and timezone. Creating, managing and team building still follows the same principles but the challenges vary slightly to in-market teams. Our Virtual Team Building and Management course will help you understand how to work on these challenges and succeed globally.

Who is it for?

Who is it for?

Anyone who has to manage, inherit or build a team of any kind virtually.

Prior knowledge

No prior experience necessary. As you develop your career, there will be a constant requirement to not only refresh and update existing technical learning but also to develop new skills and ways of thinking and behaving.

Technical Skills

Whether you’re in production, distribution, sales, finance, human resources or management your technical skills will always need to keep up with the latest developments in technology and change. The learning for this will generally come from your peers, industry trends and specialised training.

New skills

However, as you move up in seniority through an organisation or become and entrepreneur, you will be faced with learning a much wider array of skills. You will need to learn how to be a generalist but with the ability to look at the whole of a business and how it all interlocks.

People Skills

Most importantly, you will need to master your own behaviours and character and emotional intelligence in order to influence, inspire and bring people along with your vision.

Your career, personal and professional development should never stop, whether you are learning because of a company or professional body requirement or whether you are just wanting to grow.
