Course Overview

Businesses and organizations use several distinct types of teams to work on a variety of objectives. The use of teams to perform work has a long history, but during the past few decades, organizational teamwork has changed. It has expanded rapidly because of changes in jobs and the structure of organizations. This course is designed to share the basics of team and team effectiveness. 

However, in a competitive business landscape, the teams in the business also need to show effective results. Effective teams are the foundation of every successful organization. They act as one in the activity stream, while each team member realizes their part, working together as one body. Effective teams do not develop overnight. They evolve slowly through hard work and shared values/ principles, with a foundation of trust and commitment to each other and their shared vision. Effective communication, active listening, problem-solving skills, critical thinking ability, conflict resolution, and maintaining relationships with the rest of the team are some of the communication skills of strong team members that are critical to the team’s effectiveness.  The course helps you in building effectiveness in your team.

With virtual business models on the rise, the modern office is increasingly defined by time zones. Technological advances have opened many opportunities and possibilities, particularly expanding the world’s talent pool beyond one’s backyard. With the factor of technology involved in such teams, management and its application change to manage the diverse pool of professionals. The course explores how you can build an effective virtual team.

The following are the major topics covered in the Business Management webinar: 

  • Importance of effective teams for an organization.
  • Different types of teams and factors that impact their performance.
  • Barriers to effective teams: communication and conflict management.
  • Effective communication, different communication styles, and unique communication challenges.
  • Effective virtual teams, and barriers to effective virtual teams. 
  • Tools to better manage virtual teams.

A Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) with a dual-title Ph.D. in Workforce Education & Development and Comparative International Education from the Pennsylvania State University. 

With over 25 years of experience in the learning and development field, the common thread that aligns my professional focus is the need to understand the challenges in cultivating an engaged and motivated work environment from the lens of improvement. As Dr Deming stated, “improve constantly and forever” with a focus on progress and evolution through incremental changes. As the world of work continues to change and evolve, so must the workplace learning strategies, including the professionals who implement these changes.

Master’s thesis was an exploratory case study on the implementation of diversity initiatives that utilized OD concepts as an approach to a planned change process involving the entire organization.

Dissertation research: The United Nations has recognized the importance of addressing the “worldwide shortage of health workers” (WHO, 2017, p. 4); and the World Bank has calculated a global shortage of 7.6 million nurses and midwives by 2030. This shortage is having adverse effects on health systems around the world (Oulton, 2006), and is leaving governments with a problem in urgent need of solving. A comparative case study was conducted to describe migration flow (magnitude and direction) of migrant Filipino nurses employed in North-America Sub-Group (the US and Canada) and the Middle-East Sub-Group (Saudi Arabia and the UAE). The research examined the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors that influence the return of migrant nurses back to their home country. Influencing conditions of migration include (1) economic factors, e.g., wage differentials or purchasing value; (2) political factors, e.g., work visas or bilateral agreements; and (3) socio-cultural factors, e.g., work environment, social connections, and acculturation.
