What is a Virtual Team
A Virtual Team — also known as a Geographically Dispersed Team (GDT) — is a group of individuals who work across time, space, and organizational boundaries with links strengthened by webs of communication technology. They have complementary skills and are committed to a common purpose, have interdependent performance goals, and share an approach to work for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. Geographically dispersed teams allow organizations to hire and retain the best people regardless of location. Members of virtual teams communicate electronically, so they may never meet face to face. However, most teams will meet at some point in time. A virtual team does not always mean teleworker.

Is your team spread out geographically?
Does your staff telecommute?
Do you collaborate with remote groups or divisions, 3rd-party developers, suppliers and vendors?
More project managers are finding themselves managing virtual teams -- teams whose members, by choice or by circumstance, are not collocated in the same building. Do you know how to make the transition from collocated teams to distributed teams?
Regardless of your use of the latest in communication, network, and collaboration technology, does your team collaborate any better?
Does your organization still have serious problems in managing their teams remotely?

On their site, lion and dragon dance enthusiasts can also find an extensive array of separate parts to those who need to build or repair their own lion head. They have been in business for quite a long time. Their clientele are numerous, "global" and loyal. It is a testimony to their commitment to excellence.

The world class strategist seeks his victory from strategic advantage (shi) and does not demand it from his men. He is thus able to select the right men and exploit the strategic . He who exploits the strategic advantage sends his men like rolling logs and boulders. It is the nature of logs and boulders and boulders that on flat ground, they are stationary, but on steep ground they roll; the square in shape tends to stop but the round tends to roll. Thus the strategic advantage of the world class strategist- commander in exploiting his men in battle can be likened to rolling round bounders down a steep ravine thousands of feet high says something about his strategic advantage. --- Sun Zi and The Art of Warfare (Chapter 5)# # #
What is the Strategic Advantage (Shi) behind Compass AE?When a team collaboratively connects to their Tangible Vision, they also collaboratively connect to each other. This "Collaboration With Direction" approach is the strategic advantage that most emerging companies need to compete against the global companies.Implementing this advantage properly and promptly is always the challenge.

"The implementation of Virtue of the team (army's) great resource. Trust is the team's (army's) clear reward. ..." --- Military MethodsWhen a Compass team collaboratively builds their Tangible Vision, they learn about each other in terms of their individual thinking process and their interaction as a future team member. They determine if they can trust their teammates to complete their project as a team.
When the specifics are properly clarified, everyone becomes accountable from top to bottom.
Team trust and team accountability enables any team to collaboratively connect to their Tangible Vision.
