Number six is where the rubber meets the road: The teams who are doing all the work. Not only are they tasked with executing to your strategy, they are also expected to gracefully pivot to ever-changing demands and deadlines. Yet their jobs are becoming more complex: They are increasingly working with different sets of tools, processes and people across time zones, cultures and organizational boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, it is imperative that organizations help their virtual and global teams work effectively together.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"Outcomes are different\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/outcomes-are-different-deliver-products-and-services-that-matter\/\">Outcomes are different<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Capabilities must be strategic\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/capabilities-must-be-strategic\/\">Capabilities must be strategic<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Work methodologies are proliferating\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/work-methods-are-proliferating\/\">Work methodologies are proliferating<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Unstructured work is exploding\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/unstructured-work-is-exploding\/\">Unstructured work is exploding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Plans are even more critical\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/plans-are-even-more-critical\/\">Plans are even more critical<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>TEAMS ARE VIRTUAL AND GLOBAL<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Technology is everywhere\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/technology-is-everywhere-make-it-work-for-your-business\/\">Technology is everywhere<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/resources-are-multiplying\/\">Resources are multiplying<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I discussed this phenomenon last year at our customer conference (see video below).

Nearly half of these teams include members from other nations, and 41 percent never meet in person. (<a title=\"R3W CultureWizard\" href=\"http:\/\/cdn.culturewizard.com\/PDF\/Trends_in_VT_Report_4-17-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">R3W CultureWizard<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>A survey of 1,700 knowledge workers found that 79 percent reported working always or frequently in dispersed teams. (Ferrazzi Greenlight research cited in <a title=\"Harvard Business Review\" href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2014\/12\/getting-virtual-teams-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvard Business Review<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>A survey of 200 North American business professionals found that 70 percent work with internal and external team members, while nearly 40 percent work on teams across functions and departments. In addition, almost one-third work with geographically distributed team members (<a title=\"Projectplace\" href=\"\/the-chaos-theory-report-project-management-chaos-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Projectplace<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Effectiveness of Virtual Teams Varies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How effective are these teams? Clearly, it\u2019s more difficult to work as a virtual team. Yet we see examples every day of teams doing incredible things. Many studies have concluded that employees working on virtual teams are more productive. <a title=\"Study\" href=\"https:\/\/sloanreview.mit.edu\/article\/how-to-manage-virtual-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One study<\/a> of 80 software development teams from 28 labs worldwide showed that virtual teams can outperform those situated together, but only if managed correctly.<\/p>\n<p>There is also evidence of dysfunction among virtual teams, especially as they become more prevalent. Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed in the R3W CultureWizard survey said that team leaders are not prepared to lead multicultural teams. Ferrazzi Greenlight\u2019s research concludes that people believe face-to-face communication is more effective than virtual, and that collaboration technology confuses and overwhelms employees.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the ProjectPlace  survey revealed that respondents waste <strong>nine weeks per year <\/strong>in productivity time due to the complexities of collaborating across different boundaries and toolsets. The survey respondents said they use about four tools on average to manage different projects. Despite the plethora of apps and other technologies out there, their top three tools for collaboration are email (73 percent), spreadsheets (62 percent) and the phone (53 percent).<\/p>\n<p>About 40 percent of respondents said they have tried other online collaboration tools, but these are only \u201cpartial\u201d solutions such as cloud-based storage (e.g., Google Drive), online cloud tools, and shared spaces such as SharePoint. Lack of standardization is another issue: More than one-third stated that no one on their team is using the exact same set of tools.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on outdated, disparate tools for collaboration among virtual teams is a great hindrance to organizations. With all the other forces straining teams, including the increase in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/unstructured-work-is-exploding\/\">unstructured work<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/work-methods-are-proliferating\/\">propagation of work methodologies<\/a>, it\u2019s no wonder they are having issues.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-resource-management-infographic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4273 size-full\" title=\"Infographic: Teams Are Virtual and Global: Organizations Must Help Them Succeed\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/wrm-infographic-6-teams.png\" alt=\"Teams Are Virtual and Global: Organizations Must Help Them Succeed\" width=\"636\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/wrm-infographic-6-teams.png 636w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/wrm-infographic-6-teams-300x144.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Work and Resource Management for Virtual and Global Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The literature advising virtual teams on how to best work together is vast.
