Mostly Co-Lated

Abstract

We’ll start with the mostly co-located model for virtual teams. In this model, the virtual team is comprised of one or two locations of team concentration (often with members working in the same building, site, geographic location, etc.), while there are several members working remotely from other places. This model is often how many organizations get their first start with virtual teaming, as some external event (a merger or acquisition, reorganization, desire to reward a favored employee, desire to get the right person for the job, etc.) spawns the need for more creative approaches to teamwork.
