Most organisations did not plan for it and although some might have been using virtual teams ad-hoc, there has surely never been such reliance on the ability to manage teams from a distance.

Managing a team is not that different from managing a virtual team. This course sets out key principles that would enable organisations to effectively manage from a distance.
