Global Collaboration, Time + Distance
Is the world flat? Roles, geographies, communication styles and technical tools are part of the complex world in which we coordinate and collaborate. Our consulting work deals with enabling innovators to leverage widely distributed talent. To help our clients stabilize critical processes while scaling globally, we deliver assessment and analysis tools, skills-based learning and real-world case studies. Our clients tell us that these products give them competitive advantage.
Distributed Collaboration Assessments Over the years we have developed assessments that measure the capability maturity of globally distributed collaboration. We use tested survey tools, a proprietary set of data and custom analysis to provide recommendations - strategies and tactics - your organization or team can use to improve capability maturity with development partners, subcontractors, and customers.
Culture to Collaboration Seminars are structured, peer-reviewed, interactive educational products. Student and instructor manuals can be used with case studies and the rich media advisor. For more information, please contact us.
Real World Case Studies enable dialogue and best practices identification for academics, trainers, coaches and teams that want to improve capability maturity and address issues of culture, time and distance as they affect real-world business decisions today. Each case includes at least two regions, real email, voicemail and other communications, as well as organization charts and other environmental cues that add complexity to the discussion.
Rich Media Advisor serves executives, managers, and individual contributors that are planning and executing events, team processes, business practices can access concise summaries of the best learnings - from natural problem solvers, virtual team pundits, and academicians. Strategies, tactics and tips accompany explicit instructions for common business situations. Universal video and audio augment PDFs so these tools are truly mobile.
