Further Information
GÉANT 4-2 Learning & Development
Managing People & Performance in Virtual Teams Programme
(MPiViT) 2016-2017
Background
To meet some of the learning needs of GÉANT, the Learning & Development team was responsible for delivering a Programme called Managing People & Performance in Virtual Teams Programme (MPiViT). The Programme used virtual meetings using Adobe Connect and a workshop to enhance required competences in working virtually and enhancing the performance of people in virtual teams.
The client group was Activity Leaders (ALs) and Task Leaders (TLs).
The Programme used online meetings and a 2 day F2F workshop.
Following MPiViT’s success and useful evaluation data there is now a request to run a similar but enhanced Programme in 2016-2017 for GÉANT 4-2.
L&D are also keen to include in the new version of MPiViT, some of the concepts covered on the Leading High Performing Teams delivered in previous years, which will no longer run.
Managing People and Performance in Virtual Teams (MPiViT) Programme 2016-2017

This updated MPiViT 2016-2017 Programme, meets needs outlined in the GN4 Strategy 2014-2020 to develop human capital through ‘providing training in the management of geographically distributed teams’ and ‘sharing best practice amongst partners’, in relation tomanaging people, running effective virtual team meetings, managing performance, coaching and motivation.

Groups are referred to as a, b, c & d.
Ideally, people stay in their group but there is flexibility across the groups to accommodate work commitments.
You will be allocated a buddy during the Amsterdam workshop.
You and your buddy have virtual conversations together during the Programme. In these conversations you share learnings, coach and support each other in transferring your learning back to work.

The Programme comprises:
5 x 1 hour Virtual MPiViT Meetings using Adobe Connect
1 x 2 day Residential Workshop - Amsterdam

Important parts of the Programme are 4 Work Based Assignments (WBA). These involve you applying your learning to real items/tasks from your ‘To Do’ list.
One assignment involves you preparing for a real virtual meeting you are due to run.
Another involves you coaching your buddy and them coaching you in preparation for a coaching session you have with one of your team.
The final assignment involves you preparing a 2 minute PowerPoint presentation about the impact the MPiViT Programme has had on you, your team and the GÉANT project.

Identification of your learning needs takes place during Session 1 - Virtual Meeting.
You are asked to give us informal feedback throughout the Programme.
Immediately after the Amsterdam workshop you are asked to complete an online questionnaire.
