In this six-week online accelerated certificate program, participants will thoroughly delve into virtual work factors, providing awareness, knowledge and tools to successfully lead virtual teams.

Remember when team building meant attending a ropes course together with your colleagues or attending monthly lunches with department directors? Now that 50% of Fortune 500 companies utilize virtual teams, how can teams bond in a global workplace where employees work remotely while partnering with others across the world to create a shared team vision?

Recent research shows that virtual teams can outperform single-office teams and produce enhanced employee satisfaction when the organizational environment and management tools for effective virtual work exist.

The tools and techniques to create and manage virtual teams will be explored in the Graceland University Professional Institute’s accelerated online certificate, “The Art of Managing High Performing Virtual Teams”.

This program gives participants the opportunity to take this information to practice through interaction with peers and a highly skilled facilitator, in an online ‘your time learning’ environment, relating it directly to your individual situation. Approximately six to eight hours of content per week (readings, discussions and activities).

All you need to participate is access to the Internet; a computer, laptop or iPad; and a mind open to what possibilities await if you utilize your personal strengths to the highest level possible.
