Virtual team
A virtual team (also known as a geographically dispersed team or distributed team) is a group of individuals who work across time, space and organizational boundaries with links strengthened by webs of communication technology. Powell, Piccoli and Ives define virtual teams in their literature review article as groups of geographically, organizationally and/or time dispersed workers brought together by information and telecommunication technologies to accomplish one or more organizational tasks. Ale Ebrahim, N., Ahmed, S. & Taha, Z. in their recent (2009) literature review paper, added two key issues to definition of a virtual team as small temporary groups of geographically, organizationally and/ or time dispersed knowledge workers who coordinate their work predominantly with electronic information and communication technologies in order to accomplish one or more organization tasks. Members of virtual teams communicate electronically and may never meet face-to-face. Virtual teams are made possible by a proliferation of fiber optic technology that has significantly increased the scope of off-site communication. Virtual teams allow companies to procure the best talent without geographical restrictions. According to Hambley, O’Neil, & Kline (2007), virtual teams require new ways of working across boundaries through systems, processes, technology, and people, which requires effective leadership...despite the widespread increase in virtual teamwork, there has been relatively little focus on the role of virtual team leaders.
There are three main aspects to a virtual team - purpose, people and links. While purpose is an important aspect for all organizations, it's the most critical aspect for virtual teams; purpose is what holds a virtual team together. Virtual teams do not have hierarchy or any other common structures because they may not be from the same organization, and purpose here brings and holds the team together. Purpose is generally translated into certain action steps for people to work on with a defined structure consisting of common goals, individual tasks and results.
Віддалені команди і віртуальна реальність
Вейн Тармел (Wayne Turmel), засновник Greatwebmeetings.com, а також оратор та письменник, розповідає про нову "віртуальну" реальність, у якій сьогодні доводиться працювати практично всім компаніям.
Принципи взаємодії між менеджерами та підлеглими на робочому місці постійно змінюються. І сьогодні два нових поняття глибоко увійшли у обіг. Ці поняття: "віддалені команди" і "віртуальні команди".
І якщо "віддалені" команди можуть бути "віртуальними", то останні не завжди працюють віддалено. В цьому полягає суттєва відмінність між ними, а також відмінність у способах співпраці з ними.
Спробуйте задатися запитанням, скільки часу особисто ви приділяєте роботі над проектами, які не мають безпосереднього відношення до ваших посадових обов'язків, і ви зрозумієте, про що йдеться. Якщо ви також берете участь у різноманітних крос-функціональних проектах, які проводяться у партнерстві з різними людьми, як із вашої компанії, так і з поза її меж — тоді ви також частина віртуальної команди. І з кожним місяцем людей, які беруть участь у таких командах, стає все більше та більше.
Віртуальна команда збирається разом на короткий період часу лише для того, щоб досягнути певної поставленої перед нею цілі і рушити далі. Вона існує рівно стільки, скільки потрібно для закінчення проекту, яким вона займається.
Дуже часто трапляється так, що різні учасники віртуальної команди підзвітні різним керівникам. Вони працюють разом тільки в одному проекті, а в реальному житті вони часто виявляються представниками різних відділів, різних груп інтересів, а іноді — навіть різних компаній. Оптиміст скаже, що це не має ані найменшого значення. Головне — проект, який об'єднує цю команду.
Втім, не все так привабливо, як бачиться через рожеві окуляри. Що трапиться, якщо двоє людей забажають отримати доступ до одного і того ж ресурсу, який виявиться обмеженим? Адже зрештою, на глобальному рівні цілі у цих людей різні.
Тому варто пам'ятати про деякі додаткові аспекти, які варто знати кожному менеджерові, що керує віртуальною командою:
які "сили" впливають на учасників вашої команди, що перебувають поза межами вашого контролю;
хто їхній "справжній" керівник і як він ставиться до вашого проекту? Чи буде їхній керівник підтримувати ваш проект, чи навпаки — бойкотуватиме?
які ваші стосунки з їхнім керівником або відділом? Що ви можете зробити, щоб покращити їх?
чим вони ще займаються, окрім безпосередньої роботи над вашим проектом? Яким чином їхні додаткові заняття впливають на ваш проект?
як вони ставляться до проекту і які почуття він викликає у них? Наскільки вони мотивовані продовжувати?
Тож підсумок тут простий — віртуальні команди, які зібралися для того, щоб виконувати якусь важливу діяльність — це дуже позитивне явище. Але потрібно дивитися на них через призму реальності і об'єктивно оцінювати, чи зможуть вони виконувати свої завдання.
