Scenario: You have been tasked with creating a training program to help executive management develop fully functional virtual teams around North America (Mexico, U.S., and Canada) that will develop new products.

Use the Training Steps to develop an agenda that will include the vital content you deem necessary to manage and develop collaborative high performing teams for the purpose of developing new products .

General Training Steps: * Assess the training needs: What skills do they need and what skills do they have now? The difference is the content of your training session. * Provide an agenda and address the assessed skills/ability training needed, with appropriate breaks. Provide hands-on practice for any concepts presented in their particular job context as much as possible. * Alternate between skills introduced, examples, practice, and constructive feedback on performance. * Application: At the end of the training session, tell participants that it is now time to apply what they have learned. Provide a certain amount of time back on the job to practice the concepts learned in the training while the supervisor provides feedback and support. * Evaluation of the overall training after getting feedback from both participants and supervisors. * Retrain: Arrange for any additional training based on the feedback.
