Managing a Virtual Team
Presented by David Nicholls, IAG Consulting

The reality across many organizations is that managing geographically dispersed individuals on a “virtual team” becomes more and more viable every day. However, running a virtual team effectively is not as easy as setting up some fancy technology and managing remote individuals in the same way they’d be managed if they were collocated.

This one-hour webinar will explore the best practices that can be employed to overcome the inherent challenges of managing an effective and cohesive virtual team, as well as highlight many of the benefits which can be achieved using the virtual team management techniques that are currently used by IAG to manage our teams of consultants and client engagements across North America.

Participants will come away from this webinar with practical methods they can apply in their environment to help them communicate with, track progress on and improve results from the remote individuals and teams they manage.

·        Assessing the team and environment
·        Preparing for virtual communication and team management
·        Facilitation techniques for running virtual meetings
·        Leveraging tools and technology
·        Tracking individual/team progress
·        Resolving individual/team issues

·        “What facilitation techniques can be used to effectively elicit and communicate information in a virtual environment?”
·        “Can a manager “read” someone over the phone/ video-conference?”

Hands on Session: Identifying user Needs and Deriving User Requirements
Presented by Thomas Geis, UXQB

In his earlier webinar sessions, Thomas Geis presented the methodology for identifying user needs within information about the „context of use“ (users, their tasks, the resources they use, the environment(s) they are in). The focus of this webinar is walking through real examples and see how the process of „finding the gold nuggets in the top soil works in practice. Thomas will briefly recap the methodology and explicitly walk through several concise real-world examples of interview data and analyze them on the spot for user needs and derivable user requirements.

What you will take away from this webinar:

·        How to extract user needs systematically from any piece of contextual information
·        How to compose user needs based on a pre-defined solid syntax rule
·        How to derive user requirements related to usability and user experience
·        How to avoid „solutioning“ too early and facilitate breakthrough innovation
