Why virtual collaboration? 
8 
Andrea Straub-Bauer 
Bente Toftkær 
• Virtual collaboration provides opportunities for 
employees to join projects where their knowledge can 
be useful 
• Virtual collaboration is much less costly compared to 
face-to-face meetings of geographically distributed 
group members 
• Strategic knowledge sharing of relevant information and 
functional/business knowledge
A definition of distance 
9 
Andrea Straub-Bauer 
Bente Toftkær 
“A combination of geographical as 
well as social and emotional distance 
and feeling of separation, which can 
inhibit collaboration, communication, 
and success”. 
(Lojeski & Reilly, 2008)
A definition of virtual collaboration 
10 
Andrea Straub-Bauer 
Bente Toftkær 
“Virtual teams are groups of 
geographically, organizationally, 
and/or time dispersed workers brought 
together by information technologies to 
accomplish one or more organizational 
tasks”. 
(Powell et al., 2004)
Why we really need to collaborate 
virtually

  1. Check in Introduction to the course 1. Objectives of the day 2. Personal objectives 2. Agenda for the day
  2. Check in - Ask the questions – give time for short reflection - In plenary – discuss the answers!
  3. Agenda for the course.
  4. Question: ”Why virtual teams?” - Ask the question and write the input on a whiteboard or flipover.
  5. 1. Question: ”What are your experiences from working in virtual teams?” Ask the question and write the input on a whiteboard or flipover. 2. See the video! - Point: You might have experienced meetings like that. During this session, you will obtain tools for creating and developing virtual teams and gain insight on how to develop a virtual culture with trust and powerful relations.
  6. The why! - Point: Even though you have had challenges from working virtually, this workshop focuses on the benefits and how to overcome the challenges. The main goal is to develop a virtual collaboration consisting of well-functioning collaboration despite culture, geography, etc. in order to establish decisions and roles of communication with transparency and a minimum of ambiguity.
  7. A definition of distance: Virtual teams differ in the location of the members, the type of communication, and the coordination of team tasks. - Point: Distance is not only a question of geography – social and emotional distance can also cause a feeling of distance. The aim is to minimize distance!
  8. To solve the challenge of knowledge of the project you can use the ‘team charter’ in order to make sure that the team members know the specific targets of the project related to purpose and performance.
  9. Aim: To establish common knowledge of the project in order to create a ‘burning platform’ and ambitious targets. Process: Step 1: Define a ‘ burning platform’ – why is the project essential and why is every single team member needed? Step 2: Define specific performance targets. If possible, define very ambitious targets. - Point: Ambitious targets helps to create a ‘we’. If you are going to be able to reach an ambitious target, the group must work together. Nobody can reach the goal alone.
  10. Group work: try one of the tools! To solve the challenge ‘Physical presence’ use the ‘Performance Pyramid’ or the ‘Team charter’. Try one of the two tools in relation to your own work. Time: 30 minutes.
  11. How to create strong interpersonal relationships? In the following, we will present two answers to this challenge. The answers present the experiences from leaders (participating in the research mentioned earlier) describing how to solve the specific challenge.
  12. You can create strong interpersonal relationships through face to face meetings or by creating transparency and openness within the virtual space.
  13. Aim: Establish trust between you and the team. Minimize conflict between team members. - Point: If you want to establish trust between you and the team and thereby minimize conflict between team members face to face meetings can be the answer. But you might need to re-think the face to face meetings. At these rare meetings you should prioritize informal communication and social interaction in order to establish trust between you and the team and thereby minimize future conflict between team members. To establish strong and well functioning team work, informal social interaction is essential. Trust building activities such as ‘small talk’ and ‘playing’ together are easier to establish virtually, if team members have met face to face.
  14. You can use the ’Meaningful meetings – how’ to create transparency and openness within the virtual space.
  15. Aim: Establish transparency and openness within the virtual space. Process: Define roles for clarification related to: - Clear and known agenda Common ground - Clear expectations Clear communications roles - Check in and out - Meeting assessment Decision-making authority - Point: Use the diversity – culture, competencies, and personalities!
  16. Group work: try one of the tool ! To solve the challenge of ‘Strong interpersonal relationships’ you can use ‘Face to face meetings’ or ‘Meaningful meetings’’ Try one of the two tools in relation to your own work. Time: 30 min
  17. How to create homogeneity in teams?
  18. To create a ‘global presence’ to the individual through a flexible and proactive leadership style – you must establish trust.
  19. Aim: To establish trust in order to create intimacy, visibility, and acknowledgement. The Trust Equation uses four objective variables to measure trustworthiness. These four variables are best described as: Credibility, Reliability, Intimacy, and Self-Orientation. Trust = Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy Self-Orientation T stands for trustworthiness – how much does the employee trust the manager/colleague C stands for credibility – it speaks to words and credentials R is reliability – how others perceive the consistency of our actions, and our actions’ connection with our words (integrity). I is intimacy – how secure or safe the employee feels sharing with us. The lone term in the denominator is Self-Orientation, and it has a double meaning. Partly it’s about selfishness. Are we client-centric for the sake of the client? Or client-centric like a vulture? But Self-orientation is also about our own attention, our focus.  Are we listening to learn for our own purposes or just to get enough data to pursue our own hypotheses and ends? Or are we listening to truly hear the client? Are we obsessed by our own desires to succeed or win and by our insecurities? Or do we truly focus on the client, paying attention to whatever it is that helps them succeed or makes them insecure? Only the latter builds deep, long-term relationships. - Point: When we think of trust and what it means, we quickly realize it encompasses many things. We use the word “trust” to: - Interpret what people say - Describe behaviors - Decide if we feel comfortable sharing information - Indicate whether we feel that other people have our interests at heart
  20. To create a common approach, complementary skills, clear roles, and mutual accountability and commitment you can use the ’Team Charter’.
  21. Ask the question: What are the essential competences and skills for a manager of virtual teams? In small groups (15 minutes)
  22. These are the answers of the question above as told by leaders in Danish companies. Read more in: DI Research Report (2014): Global Leadership Competences for the Future – Virtual Collaboration . (link: http://publikationer.di.dk/dikataloger/156/)
  23. Consider the ”match” between the result of the research and the participants’ suggestions.
