More than 60 percent of employees work in distributed teams.  Innovative technology has increased our mobility and dramatically altered the business landscape, so optimising learning amongst distributed teams requires skill.

Start by giving your business the tools it needs. Appetite has extensive experience of working with real-time, collaboration & communication tools such as Sharepoint, Lync and web conferencing to name but a few. So, we can help you select the most appropriate communication tools for your organisation.

No man is an island however. Today’s communication technologies are only as strong as the way they are used. Usage strategy is key to deriving the greatest benefits for your organisation’s communications and performance.

The key is interaction. Interaction builds relationships. Interaction builds commitment. Interaction builds results. Unless your teams have the skills and processes to help them use the tools, they will not work together to achieve your organisational goals and targets.

Appetite supports teams by helping you to:

• Create and maintain “presence” in a distributed team
• Select the right technologies and blend of media
• Leverage virtual classrooms,  using web conferencing, to allow real-time discussion and presentation delivery
• Create learning materials (web pages, downloadable documents, links, videos, webinars and podcasts etc.)
• Put in place virtual environments to support forums, blogging and collaboration using wiki
• Nurture and create a learning organisation among distributed colleagues
