Virtual Teams, Remote Working and Flexible Working
Facilitation and Consulting

Below are examples of our consulting packages that most frequently meet client enquiries. But we do, of course, undertake consulting tailored to the client's requirements which may not include the following. To discuss your consulting needs, please send us an e-mail, or phone John Gundry on +44 (0)1666 826654.


Virtual Team Launch and Review

Studies have shown that expert facilitation has significant benefits for virtual teams. It allows them to form and work with the guidance of someone who has been there before, and understands the issues. We can facilitate virtual team launches, and help team and organisational learning through facilitating after-action reviews and lessons-learned sessions. Please contact us to discuss the power of expert, confidential and objective facilitation for your virtual teams.


Making Your Virtual Team a Success

This is a combination of education, facilitation, and coaching that focuses on a whole remote virtual team at a time. Typically we facilitate team launch and members' ongoing interaction, coach team leaders / managers, and teach everyone new remote virtual skills as necessary.


Virtual Audit

We run a confidential, anonymous questionnaire of a group or team to reveal their real attitudes, fears and abilities to work virtually. This gives team leaders, as well as HR managers, a full evaluative picture of the successes and obstacles that their people experience as a result of working virtually. It's a valuable precursor to any investment in education, development or technology.


Creating the Virtual Environment

A contributor to the failure of many virtual teams is an organisational environment which acts against cross-geography and cross-entity working. We consult for strategists and direction-setters to define the organisation design, process and tool environment that will promote and enable virtual teaming in their organisation.


Are You Ready for Telework?

Many organisations launch teleworking without sufficiently understanding what they need to do with technology, work processes and HR practices. A particular danger-point is moving from part-time to full-time teleworking: the two have substantially different impacts on managers and staff. Our experience of organisations who have succeeded, and have come close to failing, with telework allows us to help steer you away from the pitfalls to establish a successful and sustainable programme.


Telework Audit

We run a confidential, anonymous questionnaire of a teleworking group to reveal their real attitudes, concerns and issues about this new way of working. This gives HR, IT and organisational strategists a full picture of the success and sustainability of a teleworking programme. It's valuable for revealing what topics or issues should be the subject of remedial action and development.
