There's an urgent need in education, equally shared across sectors, industries, countries, and...you name it. Everyone needs to learn how to collaborate and work in virtual teams--right now.
NetAge has a method that works, tested by hundreds of organizations, like those on the right.
We provide executive seminars, train-the-trainer programs, and the occasional individual virtual team workshop on how to work more effectively across boundaries--whether departments, organizations, enterprises, and industries, and/or between buildings, cities, countries, and continent, and/or among ranks, cultures, disciplines, and cognitive styles. We provide vision, theory, methods, and stories that simplify cross-boundary work. Delivered face-to-face and online.
How is our education different from others? We’re the originals who lterally write the books: Networking, The Age of the Network, Virtual Teams. This is our specialty, our core expertise, 25 years in the making. |
