Target Group

The learning program Virtual Collaboration in a Global Setting is relevant for you if you work in a global context with international colleagues/partners and often facilitate virtual meetings, do online events and/or drive global projects with a distributed team.

Format

4 online sessions delivered approximately a week apart @ 3-5pm CET.

The learning program is delivered in English with a maximum of 12 participants.

Process

The program is offered as an open enrolment learning opportunity. Participants from different companies, various industries and countries will be learning together. 

A pre-survey is sent to all participants to learn about individual experiences and challenges. The survey inputs are used to customize the program design and to fit needs expressed.

During the learning program interactive exercises, breakout group discussions, and group dialog using whiteboards are utilized with the core focus of involving all participants and maintaining a high level of engagement. A range of different online tools will be used and demonstrated for inspiration.

Participants should plan for approx. 1.5 hours of prep work per week as articles and videos will be assigned to view and discuss with learning partners between the scheduled 4 sessions.

Bringing your new learning back to your work is essential. Throughout the learning program we focus on how new knowledge can be translated into skills: What will you do differently with your team? Which habits will you change in your online work – and how?

Participant testimonials

"I already know C3 Consulting's trainings very well and was a bit uncertain whether I would get the full output compared to someone who might not have been introduced to your tools before. But I must say that the mix between the two facilitators - culture and virtual tools - worked excellent.

The content was super relevant and the fact that we had a new learning partner every week for reflections was simply brilliant.

Furthermore, you could really feel your passion and that makes a huge difference when you have a course in the late afternoon!

I'm already looking into facilitating our meetings in a more engaging way and I'll definitely use breakout rooms more, simply because we really need input from people, but rarely get it. The notion of high and low context culture is also very useful.

This is the first time I have tried a course over several weeks, but it worked very well as we had a chance to reflect upon our learnings, you got to know people better and you didn't have to focus for too long."

"I liked the very engaged trainers; the leading-by-example; the use of various tools; the way we were nudged into engaging before and after the online sessions; the inputs from the other participants."

- Kirsten Schelde Larsen, PIM, Grundfos

"I loved the form - having to do some pre-work as well as this last "homework" session made me more engaged and drawn into the topic.

I also enjoyed individual learning sessions with my learning buddies and the fact that each time it was somebody different. I am more than happy I learned so many useful tools that I can instantly implement into my daily practice.

What also took me by surprise was an extraordinary care and mindfulness of the trainers - I felt truly supported and taken care of. I would like to thank you both - Anette and Line - this was a truly inspirational experience which surely I will try to implement into my daily practice."
